Headstones

| Approximate Location of Penrose Grave Site The coping and headstone of the grave had been in good condition in 1907. At present most of the older grave markers had tumbled over. Some were covered with grass and moss, engravings unreadable. Many of the numbered grave marker stones were lost or unreadable, but we found a few of them and were able to figure out the approximate location.
Susan Woodland Howard is standing on the spot where she believes they are buried. |
| Condition of Parker/Penrose Grave site Most of the graves from the 1800s and early 1900s have nearly disappeared. This is a beautiful area in a good neighborhood, with the grave site protected under the shade of a spreading old oak tree.
The original headstone carried the inscription: "Matilda Penrose, Died May 1, 1887, age 82. Emma, daughter of above, died October 8, 1888. Matilda Eliza Parker, elder daughter of above, died April 11, 1906, age 73.
Charles Parker died 9 Mar 1921.
Contact Susan Woodland Howard if you would like to participate in the restoration of this site.
