Older Sister Blaster loves these tombstones with the opened books on them. This is an elegant marble tombstone ona smaller marble base, on a chiseled limestone base.
We had expected to see Julia Hubbard's tombstone next to her husband's, but he was nowhere to be found. It very well could be that he was a railroad worker, and was here when she died, then moved on afterwards.
From Find-A-Grave we found some excerpts from her death certificate that may help explain why her husband is not buried next to her. Source: (
