Hi, Jeannette: Sadly, the 2 funeral home markers I'm thinking of in particular, that of my great-grandparents Charles Asbury Settle and Cora Lee Huddleston, are just the paper under glass. It has been about 8 years since I visited their graves, and I just commented to my husband last night we need to get something done soon (should have been done years ago!) Although still partly legible our last visit, they may not be by now. The cemetery book is great and I can't thank all of you who worked on it enough. I can't begin to imagine the effort it is taking to get out and record the markers in the cemeteries! For those of us who have tramped about old cemeteries, we know how tough it can be...and to do it all over the county!!! You guys there on the home front of the FRCGS are wonderful!
