Yes, that is them. I have seen those names on the census and I think they mispelled Andie's name. We will find out from Linda tomorrow.

That is why I use charcoal. It is not as messy as shaving cream and since it is a natural kind of thing it won't hurt the stones at all. It washes off with the first rain and it makes the stones easier to read. I learned about charcoal from a cemetery sextant.

Just earlier today I attended a workshop in which one of state archivists spoke the first two hours. One of the ladies attending spoke of cleaning up a cemetery and the teenagers had brought shaving cream and were squirting the tombstones to make them easier to read. Several ladies just sat there shaking their heads. I was also aware this is not the best thing to do. The archivist said if you just squirt/spray the letters with water and a very soft bristle brush you will get as good as you can get! It seems some of the things like shaving cream and baby powder that we have heard of, does not entirely wash off and the chemicals are very lasting and will ruin the tombstone. Quite recently a friend asked me to go out in the country and bring my digital camera. There was a tombstone out there for a revolutionary soldier who died in 1812. I took some pictures and when I got home and downloaded them, I played with the lighting and a couple of adjustments and could get some letters much much better than what we could see with the eye. I was sort of lucky this time. wanda casker

It is way too late now, but you can rub charcoal over them and that works great and it doesn't harm the marker. Chalk works too and shaving cream, but I am not sure it is good for the marker.

I have a couple of questions about the George Rollins family photo submitted to the Ancestor Photo section by Jackie D. Warden. The man on the far left is listed as William (F/Geo). George's father was Benjamin Franklin Rollins b-1820. Could the gentleman be Louisa C. Anderson's father? I would love to know who he is. Also, I would like to know if Jackie has any more Rollins' photos. Thanks a lot. Jim Rollins ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.

I found a gravesite at Martin Springs cemetery today that I believe to be that of Benjamin Franklin Rollins (b-1820). I found the fieldstone marker close to some other Rollins'graves and it had the initials BFR on it. Has anyone else noted this fieldstone before?
