A genalogical history of my father's family tree. Surnames include: Plummer, Boughner, Barnes, York, and Frakes. I will discuss my genealogy research and my genealogical conclusions. I hope to help others construct their family tree as I continue to grow mine. My conclusions are not guaranteed to be completely correct, they are a work in progress. Let's have some genealogy fun!!

Tombstone Tuesday - My Grandparents
This is the gravestone of my grandparents, James and Anna Boughner Plummer. My Grandparents died eleven years before I was born. They are buried at Maple Grove Cemetery in Brookville, Indiana.
I may have gone to the grave as a young child, but I don't ever remember seeing it until this past year in this picture. My brother went to Brookville and found several family graves and sent me the pictures.
When I was young my mother went to put flowers on graves for Memorial Day, or as they called it Decoration Day, but I don't remember what graves she put flowers on or where we went. It seemed very important to my parents to get flowers on the graves. I just wish I had been more attentive to what they were doing back then. I might know where the graves are that I haven't been able to find.

Hopefully you'll be able to find them!
ReplyDeleteThank you, yes I know it is going to take some footwork. Plan to spend time looking this summer. During the winter I have found some new info. The one I just don't have any information on is my sister who died years before I was born.
