Fragments: John C. Lowry

As recently as the summer of 2008, the marker at the grave of John C. Lowry (b. 1857, d. 1881) was standing tall in Thomas Cemetery. Most likely damaged by vandals, today the monument is in pieces.

    This post spoke to me...I blogged about the value of my project [attempt] to photograph all of the cemeteries in the county where I live.

    Here is a good example of a headstone I was able to save digitally.

    Keep clicking that shutter. You never know if the stone will be standing tomorrow.

    Doubt I can photograph all cemeteries in the county, but I'm sure gonna do as much as I can. It can be alarming to see the difference only a few years makes--such as in your 'project value' post.
