At first I thought this one was an anvil, but after looking at it closer, I am not sure. And if it is, does it mean he was a blacksmith? http://www.txgenes.com/TXUpshur/art/Cemeteries/SimpsonvilleCem/BrownWR2.jpg Elaine -- If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.

If you'll look them up on FAG (Find A Grave) they are both displayed there, but it doesn't help identify this strange marker. ~DEB~ --- On Wed, 6/3/09, Suzie Henderson <henderson.suzie@gmail.com> wrote: From: Suzie Henderson <henderson.suzie@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [TXGEN] Tombstone Meaning To: txgen@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, June 3, 2009, 1:11 PM The only Charlie Couch listed in Upshur county is a Charlie C. who shows in 1930 list as a stockman.

There was a Charlie C Couch who died in 1958. He was a grocer and lived in Simpsonville but his death cert says he was cremated and buried in Dallas. He was 71 years old and died of heart issues and cerebral something or other. There is a double stone for Charlie C and Billy L, the amputee idea sounds good to me.
