Hello to the list again, Last year I contacted the list about finding my Grandfather's tombstone in Sunrise Cemetery. His name was John William Cowan. I got immediate help, and even got the exact location from Marti Graham. Don't know if Marti is still on the list or not. If you are thanks a million! To make the long story short, I found a cousin within 40 miles who just went last weekend and took pictures of the cemetery and stone for me. The tombstone has a lot of rust colored stain? on it, and she was wondering how to clean it. I was wondering what the stain was, whether from bird droppings, or she says there is a lot of red clay in the area. The stone is a flat dark granite stone with a white, or lighter insert in the middle for the inscription, J W Cowan 1865 1935 Is there any one familiar with this type stain in the area and could give us advice of the best way to get rid of it? If anyone would like a small .jpg of the stone to see the stain, let me know and I'll attach one and send a jpg off list. Thanks for any advice you might have. I subscribe to the Digest.. -- Best Regards Earl Cowan (From PA) mailto:[email protected], http://www.weir.net/~ecowan http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/c/o/w/Earl-R-Cowan/
