I have been interested in local history and genealogy for most of my life. Discovering information about the lives of the people who came before us has always been intriguing to me. They all have their special tales to tell - each chapter and page completing their books as they traveled through life. Unfortunately, we can never uncover every fact and aspect of their lives or the joys and sorrows they encountered along the way, but the inscriptions found on gravestones can help to give us a glimpse into the past. One stone I discovered dating back to the 1850's has the inscription "Murdered". How intriguing is that?
