Than Headstones,
April 2, 2008 ReviewsByJudy "This large 8.5" x
11" softbound edition includes many photos of headstone styles. It is
written in the Cornell Notes style with plenty of room for taking your
own notes. It includes an excellent explanation of stone styles, burial
traditions, and definitions for causes of death often given in the
past. The "Historical Time
Line of Deadly Diseases, Epidemics, and Disasters in America 1516-1981"
(included) is
valuable beyond the grave! I would buy this guide by itself, if
it
was available! Author is a Certified
Genealogist and editor of Betterway genealogy books."
