Texas Escapes

Charlie Ratliff of Jasper is one of only two people I know with two gravestones. When the 80-year-old man lost his right arm to cancer, he had it buried in Little Hope Cemetery with a marker bearing a carving of an arm and hand. When Charlie died four years later, the rest of his body was buried beside the arm.

The same thing happened to Winnie Jones, who lost a leg and had it buried in St. Luke’s Cemetery in San Augustine County with the inscription: “Here lies Winnie Jones’ leg.” When Winnie died, she was buried near her leg with the notation: “Here lies Winnie Jones.”
