My friend and a member of TSGS, Vannetta McDowell, asks on Face Book, no less, "where's your weekly Thursday blog/tombstones? and what about an update on last night's TSGS meeting...... Have you gotten lost? Enquiring minds want to know..." I did say she was a friend?
Vannetta, I have not posted a Tombstone Thursday for some time - this one is for you and all of the "Tombstone Thursday" fans!
Locust Hill Cemetery
Evansville, Indiana
Section 10
George F. Birkenmayer*

His Wife

* George's panel to the right was never completed...
birth date is from the left panel with
death date from the cemetery's Online database
The photo below is the backside of this marker with four of the Birkenmayer children. I took these photos one day this past summer, because it is one of the metal markers (some of these were made by Sears - I do not know the manufacturer of this marker).[Tombstone Thursday is dedicated in memory of Donald G. West 1952-2000]
