Wednesday’s child: Mary L. Jackson

My only regret: Why did I not take time to read the epitaph on the foot stone at the grave of Mary Larah Jackson (d. 1874)? Maybe the summer heat? Lame excuse.

Mary Laura Jackson is the daughter of George W. Jackson, wagon maker (per 1870 U.S. Federal Census), and Mary E. Jackson.

  1. What an interesting gravestone. I can't really understand why the ones 'connecting' the two taller ones are that way. Still really cool to look at.
