Tombstone Tuesday, Shell Banks Cemetery, Fort Morgan, Baldwin County, Georgia

This cemetery is steeped in history,  many burials can be found on the Find A Grave site for this cemetery.  I found so many interesting stones and stories here that I will take two posts to share them all.  In no particular order, but interesting to me:

Wife

Hazel R

Nelson

(I just love the angels on each side of her monument.)

So touching, three children's hand-prints and their names inscribed at the end of this ledger stone.  Believe the names are Mickey, Kyle and Susy.  They are at the end of the ledger for:

(If you look at the bottom left of the handmade monument, you can see where this stone was made or dedicated in May of 1952.)

Man and I both just loved the use of marbles on this hand made memorial.
