May Seem Strange but.......

I belong to an internet group call "Find-A-Grave"  Why would anyone want to Find-A-Grave" literally.  It does sound a little unsettling to most.

However, this group are mainly a bunch of retired people that are helping other people who are doing ancestry of their family, find out just a little more.  Yes, I take photos of their gravestone because it has information on it that many people doing ancestry lookups don't have or they are wrong in the dates.  I have done many in the past 7 years. Most of the request are for those cemeteries located within a radius of maybe 15 miles the most. Most of the request are from out of state. I have requested my family from out of state that were found that I needed for my ancestry book.

Many are church gravesites but they are usually run by other than the church which makes it a little difficulty in finding sites I need.  So, this means walking around the cemetery and looking for particular names of people with some sort of date birth or death to compare with information received.  Then I take a photo of that gravesite and add it to the website in the proper cemetery and proper name of deceased that I have been asked to find.

These of course are deceased, not there anymore.  The sites can be anywhere from 1700 up to now.  A lot of the gravestones are covered in mold or not taken care of and hard to read.  I have respect for these monuments of people passed and occasionally have even excused myself if I inadvertently stepped to close.  Silly I know but we need respect for people who are here now and for many friends and family long gone.

I  write about this and hoping you won't think I am off my rocker but to me it is doing a service for someone.

I came across this, just partly in the ground near some larger monuments.
I could hardly read it, but I was sad to think about this persons family or loved one needed to let someone know she was buried there.  Can you make out the markings?  Here is what I get out of it.

I think it says "Dasie May Cobb - Mary ?(or Married but no room to write that) 2-5-1929 D1 April11
Crudely written by someone and simply laid on top of a grave.  I have always loved mysteries and this one I may check further into.  It was not one requested just literally stumbled over it.

I took a closer look again with my Sherlock enthusiasm to find out who this is and thought it may be ...  Dasie Mayco  Born March 25, 1929 and died April 11.  Probably a newborn.  I am going to call the people who take care of this graveyard next.  Why? You may wonder??? Well, I am just a very curious natured person.
