Thanks. While my Nuttle family is buried in a group, there are others who are buried one grave in a cemetery. One of the frustrating things about some inscriptions is it had first and last name and the year born and died. I suppose that is better than nothing. When my mother died I tried to get enough information in it that a person reading the obituary knew bout her parents and he children. Some of our obituaries are as lean as some of our tombstone inscriptions. Guns get blamed in shootings because the liberals say teaching the Ten Commandments with "Thou shall not kill" violate the separation of Church and State.
