    1. [PAWESTMO] Interesting Tombstone
    2. Ellis Michaels
    3. Listers, Bill Plack has brought a most unusual tombstone to my attention, and I was able to go examine it more thoroughly yesterday while visiting my father in Jeannette. The tombstone is poured concrete, and includes what appears to be a death mask taken of the deceased. The stone is in the Sacred Heart (Old) Cemetery on Ridge Road in Jeannette. Here are four views of the stone. http://www.usgwarchives.org/pa/westmoreland/tsimages/sacredheart-hempfield/jeannette/santillo-vittor-a1.jpg http://www.usgwarchives.org/pa/westmoreland/tsimages/sacredheart-hempfield/jeannette/santillo-vittor-a2.jpg http://www.usgwarchives.org/pa/westmoreland/tsimages/sacredheart-hempfield/jeannette/santillo-vittor-a3.jpg http://www.usgwarchives.org/pa/westmoreland/tsimages/sacredheart-hempfield/jeannette/santillo-vittor-a4.jpg Ellis Michaels Co-coordinator Pennsylvania USGenWeb Tombstone Project [email protected] "If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing" (Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanac)
