The only Charlie Couch listed in Upshur county is a Charlie C. who shows in 1930 list as a stockman. He is buried with a different marker at the same cemetery showing that he died in 1958. He is listed on the same stone with his son, Billy. The possibility that it is only a limb buried under this marker, gets stronger. It would be interesting to know if the stones were in close proximity.

I have posted them in all my graveyard hunter groups and hope to find something out about both.    Robin R Inge "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away"     ________________________________ From: Suzie Henderson <henderson.suzie@gmail.com> To: txgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, June 3, 2009 1:11:18 PM Subject: Re: [TXGEN] Tombstone Meaning The only Charlie Couch listed in Upshur county is a Charlie C. who shows in 1930 list as a stockman.

I have now found the Charlie C Couch death certificate. He was in the grocery business in Simpsonville, TX. He was sick for 16 days with heart trouble and died from heart problems. No mention of a leg. He was creamated. So, here is my guess. He lost a leg in some accident and it was buried with the marker erected. Charlie died and was creamated, maybe buried, maybe not. Then when his son died the family put up a double marker to also show Charlie's stats. Will probably never know for sure, but that is what it is looking like at this point.
