I was just looking at the headstone photo you posted at findagrave. Do you have a full transcription of the text at the bottom? I can't quite make it out from the photo.

If you're referring to the very bottom, no, I can't make it out either. Since she died several years after her husband, the stone was no doubt ordered by one or more of her children. I can make out a word here and there: kindred in the second line, dead in the third. I believe she was in Utah with her daughter, Mary, who married John Mayberry, and they were baptized into the Mormon faith. So, possibly it was saying something along those religion lines. Only a guess as I can't make out what it says. The photo was taken by another researcher and shared with me, so I've never been to the grave. It would be interesting to go there and see if I could make out what it says. ----- Original Message ----- From: "L S Y" <lsy.genealogy@gmail.com> To: <younger@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 19, 2008 11:54 AM Subject: Re: [YOUNGER] Thomas Younger ... >I was just looking at the headstone photo you posted at findagrave.
