Re: 19th Century Masonic Tombstones

Attached is an image of the grave of George E. DuCharme. Served in the 74th Illinois Infantry and interred in the City Cemetary, Agency, IA. I find it interesting that Mr. DuCharme has two stones. In the foreground is his Masonic/privately purchased stone. Just over the left shoulder of the stone is his military headstone.

Re: 19th Century Masonic Tombstones

My second favorite passtime, wandering thru graveyards, taking pictures of headstones. The wife and I are members of another site just for this purpose. I am currently building a central Texas Confederate virtual cemetery. Glad to see we are not alone in our hobby.

Re: 19th Century Masonic Tombstones

We have several here in Lincoln County, Ky (named for Benjamin not Abraham Lincoln). I will try to post some pics.

Re: 19th Century Masonic Tombstones

I've attached photos of a couple Masonic stones that I photographed in the Nashville City Cemetery.

Past Grand Master Wilkins Tannehill (d. 1858) and Rev. Moses B. Johnston

A few more from this cemetery can be found here...http://www.thenashvillecitycemetery.org/masons.htm

Re: 19th Century Masonic Tombstones

While waiting to pick up some drawing at a printer in Gallatin, TN yesterday I decided to take a quick walk through the old city cemetery. Here are a couple I found - worth sharing.

Ok, the first is one that I think is pretty cool, but I'd like everyone's opinion whether they think it is a Mason - or not.

The second was just kinda cool...so I add it here for your viewing pleasure.

Enjoy!

Re: 19th Century Masonic Tombstones

I thought that I had read where the carpemters guild used the S&C as well, but arranged in a different way.
