Gravestone Symbolism

Our speaker will be Dr. John E. Inman, a genealogist and family historian.  Dr. Inman will help explain what some of those religious, military, social club or other symbols you may have found on the gravestones of your ancestors mean.  This will be an interesting lecture combined with a slide show of examples.
