Officer and a
Gentleman & Phd'


Beloved Husband Father

marker was found on the plot of
Genevieve Courtney

one made of bricks and shells instead.
Monument reads:
In Memory Of
Joseph L. Strong

Above: Believe this to be the marker for a burial,
but I do not know for whom.
The silk poinsetta blooms are tucked between two sea shells.
Man spotted a small reptile who had claimed one of these shells as a good hiding place.


Above:
Barbara A. Ewing
(Nearby is Harold F. Ewing, his marker is identical, yes, wood,
appears to be a 4 X 4, names painted on, and fading.)


Above, Cinderella Hanson.
Love her name, so sad, only 4 years old.

Our Little

Age
(Note: Nothing more is known by this blogger about Bradley.)
