They Used Their Rocks

If you are unfamiliar with the Crawford County area in Arkansas, I will tell you this they sure can grow the rocks.  And since the rocks are readily available the sure used them.  I found more field stone markers and rock cairn in the few cemeteries I have visited the any other place I've been.

Located at Salem Cemetery in Cedarville, AR.

Unusual To See On A Child's Marker

Located at Mt. Salem Cemetery aka Salem Cemetery in Elkins, AR.

When I first seen this marker I thought it was a military marker. Because that is the first thing I think of when I see and eagle holding a flag. Then I read the inscription.  Deffinately not a military stone unless they recruited three year olds in the 1880s. (The bird could possibly be a dove.)
