Tombstone Tuesday - The Missing Great-Great-Grandparent



Last month I wrote about visiting the graves of 7 of our 8 paternal great-great-grandparents. The only one we missed was Cyrus William Gray II - who is buried in Connecticut.

This week I was doing some searches on FindAGrave and came across a picture of Cyrus' tombstone. For those of you not familiar with it - FindAGrave is a website that organizes burial information by cemetery and allows users to upload pictures of individual gravestones. If there is a grave you would like a picture of - you can submit a request and a local volunteer may go take a picture and post it for you. I was lucky to find that someone had already take one of Cyrus' grave. Thank you ann for posting that picture!

Notice that his wife Anna is listed on the tombstone also without a death date. She was actually buried in Ohio instead (where she went to live with her daughter after Cyrus passed away).
