Behind the glass is the original obituary, the obituary is so old is it near unreadable. Be sure to view the video on this one. This feature is pretty unique and popular for a short time.
I won’t speculate on what it says, and I will check when I have time to see if the history center has the original type on record. There are a few of these type of stones in the cemetery. I know 4 of them are children and babies. This is one of 6 this style in the Greenwood Cemetery, Cañon City, Colorado. More of these to come, and more from this cemetery coming very soon.

*Disclaimer, I’m not a historian, scholar or writer. Ask my high school teachers, they’ll confirm that. I do my best to find information and I’m always open to edits and corrections when needed. I have a love for cemeteries and ghost towns. Cemeteries are full of stories, sometimes I can find them, sometimes I can’t! Be respectful if visiting any of the places I share. These places won’t be around forever, especially if not treated with the utmost in respect. Want to see more? Visit our blog at listed in our Bio!
