52 Ancestors - Tombstones


I am participating in Amy Johnson Cow's 52 Ancestors. The topic for last week was tombstones.

I have written about how one of my ancestors, Herman Pringey founded Newlon Grove Cemetary by donating the first acre. I thought I would share some of the headstones from Newlon Grove Cemetary outside of Cumberland Iowa. 


There is a complete list of graves which is helpful. Below is Herman Pringey's gravestone.


Below is Herman's Sister and Brother Law, Henson Liston, Gravestones. As you can see both served in the same unit. It was Herman that introduced his sister Candance to Henson.
