We had just placed the new grave marker at the grave of Robert G. Crusenberry. Notice the new maker and the old rock marker behind the blue wreath.
We placed this new stone about 1994.
I do not have a picture of the entire grave

This was taken at her Mother's Grave (Nancy Thomason Setser). Notice the condition of the other graves. There are some large trees growing up through some of the graves. This cemetery is going to be hard to find. This was taken in 1996.
