"The Typical Stone grave marker of today, as the term implies, probably evolved as a means of marking the specific spot where someone is buried" [Schafer: Tombstones of your Ancestors p. 11]
Monument from Maplewood Cemetery in Marlborough, MA , is of someone with the STONE surname. It is not one of my ancestors but this monument gave me the idea of taking some of the wisdom of the many books I own and passing them along to you, dear reader.
I gazed at this monument and murmured out loud, "Yes that is a stone." Thank you STONE family for the idea.
