Tombstone Tuesday -- John T., Jr and Esther H. Barker

This is the photo I took of great-grandma and grandpa Barker's headstone while I was cemetery hopping through Bear Lake County, Idaho on a fine snowy May day.

Luckily  I found this photo that I took in 2001 back at mom's house. The earlier one is much easier to read.  What a difference nine years makes. 

             Barker
John T. Jr.        Esther H.
Nov. 22, 1872       Apr. 23, 1880
Feb. 10, 1953      Feb. 27, 1963

I also took a photo of the St. Charles Cemetery map while I was there last May.

If you click on the map you should be able to read most of it, but some of it is blurry. 

(okay maybe you need a magnifying glass to read it. You can read the original so if anyone wants a copy I can email it to you.)

  1. This is the exact reason I am feeling the urgency to photograph my family stones this year. The last time I did was 9 years ago and some of the stones can't be read anymore.
