oldhigginscem.jpg489 viewsDo you know anything about the shape of cemetery stones as to when they were used if you can't read them? I found an old Higgins Cemetery on Crab Creek Road, Alleghany Co NC and some of the old stones had odd shapes. Some looked like a petrified slab of wood while others had shapes I had not seen before.

(According to the Park Service, the cabin was built by Jesse Sheets in 1818, but Jesse was not born until 1818, so the cabin was likely built by his father, Andrew.)

I am not able to identify which of the people were Sextons but will keep searching my notes. Maybe others can help. Courtesy of Lonnie Jones lonnie0809@skybest.com
