Tombstone Tuesday - November 17, 2009

Our Family Civil War Veteran’s Tombstones

The following are tombstone photos which I have of Civil War Veterans in our family.  We have other Veterans from the Civil War but I currently do not have photos of their tombstones.  Getting the new photo's will gives me an opportunities for future Veteran's Day blogs.


This is my Great Great Grandfather Austin Boyer from Rose Township, Oakland County, Michigan. Lillian Losee’s Grandfather on her maternal side of the family.  This stone was place by Mary Florence, Austin's wife,  to honer her husband.  It is in the Boyer Plot in Thetford Cemetery in Genesee County, Michigan. No government stone was requested.
