Cemetery Tidibits

This page has cemetery tidbits contributed by others.
We will give them a permanent home in
their respective cemeteries when more transcriptions are done. Mary Jean

The Roman Catholic cemetery in Apalacon, connected with St. Thomas the Apostle Church,
but not located next to the church

Andrew McVinnia
(top of stone says 'Father')
1832 - 1907

(There's a family story related to the above stone, that it was originally 
used for someone in the Harding plot--a related family--but was discarded, 
so the McVinnia family, with permission, reused the stone.  Presumably, 
there is an additional name on it underground 
upside down!)

Note that the questionable dates above are because of my handwriting.  
I think the stones are legible. 
  
I have a note also on one stone in a cemetery in Friendsville, across from the 
Roman Catholic church there:

The stone is an obelisk:
