Cones in Bridgford Memorial Cemetery

Cones in 
 Bridgford Memorial Cemetery

Samuel Cones                                                 Sarah Cones
 

Interesting updated pictures and more information.

This next set and top two headstones are of Samuel J. Cones. The first picture of Samuel is sideway for the reason that it shows you behind the headstone a small marker that says S. C. All of the headstones have a small marker behind the bigger headstone but Samuel's is the only one you can actually see the S. C.


The next two pictures below: The left one is Sara Cones and the right one is all of the Cones that are buried in the Bridgford Memorial Cemetery. 

Two of the headstones are knocked over. The one closest to Sarah is Michael Sylvester Cones and the one by the tree which I actually did a close up below, is Gracie.
Again Gracie is the one by the tree. Unfortunately, the tree is about to lay Gracie's headstone over on it's side. (Her headstone close up is at the bottom of this post.)



The interesting thing about the above middle set of pictures they are more bold then the first above set of picture. Details and Names are more clear. I have heard all kinds of tales and mysteries on this cemetery and I am beginning to understand the myths a little. 

Now, Gracie is the bottom two pictures, and she is over by the tree. Her headstone is beginning to tilt towards the side. Most of the headstones are beginning to become hard to read and or are un-readable (if that is even a word - haha). I will be going back up Saturday with a rather large paper and black crayon to see if I can get any inscription off of any of the headstones. Probably not much but it is worth the try.
