I have ancestors buried in Zion Lutheran cemetery whose tombstones were carved by James Gemmell. He did carve his name in corner of the tombstones. I just learned another interesting thing. He carved skull and crossbones on some of the tombstones that look like they were later chiseled off. I'd be grateful if anyone has information about James Gemmell. John Tarr

Bill Plack has done research on Gemmell; some of it was published in WESTMORELAND HISTORY, a publication of the Westm'd. Co. historical soc. [Spring 2007] . I can put you in touch with Bill, but he is on the list and may respond to your query. And what is the specific loc. for Zion Luth. Cem ??? ********************** jim miller/621 grove st********************** greensburg pa 15601> From: [email protected]> To: [email protected]> Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2008 21:25:40 -0400> Subject: [PAWESTMO] tombstone carver James Gemmell> > I have ancestors buried in Zion Lutheran cemetery whose tombstones were> carved by James Gemmell.
