Restoration of the Wade Gravesites 2001

History

These are pictures of the gravestones of George Boxley and Elizabeth Carter Wade while they were still in the Morence cemetery. The white on them was shaving soap that I used to be able to read the worn inscriptions. At the time the stones were moved to Morence, the stone for the baby had not been found, so it was not moved.

There was a mistake on the stone for George. It should have been G. B. Wade. The same mistake was made on his name on his stepdaughter, Malissa's stone. It reads "Malissa Dau. of G. W. & J. Bruzell".

Finding the baby's grave on July 11, 2001, and the work beginning

The stones were placed on the concrete slab like a puzzle.
