First Burial in
Greenwood Cemetery
-----
Willie is buried with his parents and a sibling. His headstone is one of many headstones in this cemetery where someone has, for lack of a better term, "inked" the inscriptions in order to improve legibility. While this does have the desired effect, time will tell whether this will harm the monuments. Below a mourning dove is:
Willie C.
Son of
H.W. & S.E.
Gibson.
Born
Apr. 24, 1882
Died
June 17, 1883
FIRST - Classification Variable: Person or Group
Date of FIRST: 06/17/1883
