Cemetery Symbols & Flags Project

Phyllis and I (and Sue too!) have a good start on this project.  We think we want it to be examples (with meanings when applicable) of Eaton County cemetery headstones and/or symbols and/or flag stands.  It would be nice to have something from every Eaton County cemetery.

The project is being documented in a Word table with a category, a photo, and the cemetery, name of who it belongs to if we know, and possibly the meaning.  See the end of the post for an example.

We could use some help from anyone who is interested.  If you have a photo now of a symbol or flag or unique headstone, let me know.  For example, we have a Boy Scout emblem, but not a Girl Scout emblem.  We are still going through the photos we have for cemeteries and when we get done with what we have, I will make a list of the things we do not have a sample of yet.  We could use help with proofing the document.  From a dvd, if you are interested in reading the document and making sure what it says makes sense and/or adding some of your knowledge or research to the document, let me know!  You just need a dvd reader and Word 2003 or later.  The Word document hyperlinks the photo so you can click for access to the photo from your photo software.

Here is an example:
