Digging in Deeper at the Cemetery
Sponsored by the St. Louis Genealogical Society.
Graveyards were the standard before the rural movement took cemeteries outside city limits and embraced the natural environment. Today, cemeteries are not only focused on the death of an individual, they are focused on when that individual arrived at the cemetery. Use of receiving tombs and the difference between public lots/private lots can give more details concerning one’s search than some realize. Iconography can also play a key role in pointing to important elements in an ancestor’s life. Presenter: Dan Fuller.
