Her price was

far above that

of Rubies.

I though this epitaph was interesting.  When I first read it I will admit my first thought was who is Ruby and way would you put that on another woman's stone. But after a google search I found that it is from the bible.

"Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies."

From the King James Bible - Proverbs 31:10

Interesting Coffin Shaped Box Tomb

Found this beautiful box tomb at Rose Hill Cemetery in Harrison, AR.

I have seen coffin shaped ledger stones and I have seen box tombs but not combine like this.  I think its very nice and unique. Also in amazing shape to be 125 years old.

Genealogist's Dream Stone

This very interesting marker is located at Maplewood Cemetery in Harrison, AR. 

 Not only is the front of this stone very unique and interesting looking, but the back holds a wealth of information for both people.
