This ledger originally belonged to Moser and Blackman,
stonecutters, whose shop was on Marble Hill (Lakeside) in Monroe Co. TN in the
1850s and 1860s. The shop was destroyed in the Civil War. Luther M. Blackman
(1843-1918) lived in the Bat Creek/Eve Mills area of Monroe County. He was a
major and Quartermaster in the 4th Tennessee Cavalry, USA in the Civil War and
served from Oct. 12, 1865 to the end of 1869 in the 34th and 35th General
Assembly of Tennessee.
Recorded in the ledger are the orders for
tombstones along with their inscriptions. No indication is given as to the
cemetery where the stones are to be erected. Many of these stones are still
standing in cemeteries in Monroe County, but many others have disappeared.
Although the shop operated only from 1857 to 1860, many of the inscriptions are
for tombstones for people who died much earlier.
The transcription is made from a photocopy of
the original. Items single spaced indicate they were part of a single order
with the price and sometimes the name of the purchaser at the end. The pages in
the original book are not numbered. It is very fragile and more copies of the
original will not be made. The original ledger belongs to a granddaughter of
Luther Blackman.
