Tombstone Tuesday: Jones Cemetery, Wayne County, Iowa

How would you spend your 60th birthday weekend?  Partying?  Taking a cruise?  How about if your passion is family history and you are living hundreds of miles away from where all your family history is?

I spent the weekend FINALLY loading gravestone pictures I took of Jones Cemetery in rural Wayne County, Iowa, in 2007 & 2008 to findagrave.com.  Do I know how to have fun, or what?  ha! I was also able to link many of the people together.

I tried to also indicate my relationship to those in the cemetery in the memorials I left.  Does anyone else do this?  Do you think it is a good idea?

After spending many, many, many hours this weekend, I still have a bunch of pictures to load...but in the meantime, peruse the list and see if someone you are looking for might be buried here (the numbers to the side of the name are the FindAGrave Memorial ID):
