Epitaphs - Gila Style

Yes, as you know, I like cemeteries -- for so many reasons!  Here's a few epitaphs we have stumbled upon (sometimes literally!) 

The Marston Brothers (Pinos Altos):

Captain Arizona Scouts
Thomas J. Marston
September 13, 1839
October 27, 1861
Died of fatal wounds received in action as he led the settlers in defense and repulsed 400 Apaches led by Chief Cochise
Miner Virgil Marston
Brother of Thomas J.
Killed by the Indians near Silver Cell Mine on Whiskey Creek about 1870

Then in the same cemetery - quoting the Apaches:

Everything Dies But the Rocks Said Geronimo, Apache Chief

Fort Bayard National Cemetery:

Three Small Words :-)

Committed to Freedom

Lordsburg Cemetery:

One way to preserve your area's history - thanks goes out to "people" like the Muir Ranch!

Las Cruces Masonic Cemetery:

Yet another approach to passing down genealogy to descendants.

Guess that's all for now Buddies - carry on!
