More Ervin & Ida Grimm

Grimm Grave Sites

I typed in Photoshop where the graves are in relationship to each other. William Grimm is the Father of Ida Florence Grimm and Ervin Minard Evans is her Husband.Taking a closer look at the picture I realize that I marked incorrectly William's spot, its actually right above where the G in Grimm is.

Ervin Minard Evan's grave marker. I will post some close ups in following weeks. The reason why Ervin's tomb stone is the shape of a log is because he was a log cutter for his trade.
