A TRIP TO ALTON CEMETERY, NORTH OF MOSS BLUFF

That is one of the most unusual names I have ever heard!!!
Above is a beautifully carved column from the turn of the century. Below is the oldest tombstone we could find in the cemetery....1811!

She actually named her son and/or daughter COPPER?!?!?!?
The sailor above died in 1960.

I would love to look that cocky on my tombstone when I pass on!
Another unusual name!?!?

SHEET MUSIC

I have "Old Jim's Christmas Hymn" on an Edison cylinder. The melody is set to "Rock of Ages".


I'll soon have "They Start the Victrola" as a piano roll when my latest purchase comes in.

Just some sheetmusic covers that I've saved from websitesthat I felt like putting up.
