Hello Group, The best thing that anyone can do is " be careful" We all want a good a picture but what that reporter did was wrong, you can tell she has never walked in hip high weeds and underbrush to find an family graveyard. The dirt from mother nature has protested these tombstones for many years, be thankful that there is a marker on your great-grandfather's gravesite. Finding our past also means preserving our past. Clearly this reporter was not a family researcher. Wanda Eakin Lentz

Well said, Wanda. As the Attala List Administrator, I began this discussion about damage to tombstones and now it is time for me to end it. There were many very good and valid points made and the debate could last indefinitely. Be careful. Please, no more messages on this subject at this time.
