http://ohsnapbee.bloghostpro.com/ Genealogy, History, and whatever else crosses my mind sv http://ohsnapbee.bloghostpro.com/2009/01/19/tombstone-tuesday-need-a-mirror.html When I went to Georgetown, Kentucky back in September 2007, I did what I usually do when I go to a new location: scout out the local cemeteries Maplegrove Cemetery in Georgetown is a small, modest, somewhat overgrown cemetery tucked behind a Pizza Hut as well as a gas station. This tombstone on behalf of Eliza Washington is made from concrete. My best guess is that the person who made it poured the concrete into a box form, then set in stencils on behalf of the letters (like kids used to do with potatoes). The tombstone maker forgot (or didn’t realize) that the stencils had to be set backwards so they would appear correctly on the marker. (Again, this is just my best guess.) I did find a 20-year-old Eliza Washington in the 1910 census on behalf of Scott County, Kentucky, but I’m not certain it is the same person.
