Billie Joe Green -- Oakwood Cemetery, Denton TX - Homemade Tombstones on Waymarking.com

Blasterz are always fascinated by the homemade tombstones because they speak to us in a way that manufactured monuments do not. It is not always clear what stories being told here, but it takes a special amount of love (or a grinding crush of povertry) to make a personal tombstone by hand for a loved one.

This simple concrete square marker in section V of Denton's Oakwood Cemetery has been simply hand inscribed with a last name, "Green." There is no other information on marker, however, in the cemetery burial records published by the city of Denton online, we find one entry only in this section for anyone named Green: that of Billy Joe Green. his dates of birth and death are not listed, but at least now, online, his full name can be known to us.
