Cemeteries are full of history.  Have you ever taken a stroll through a cemetery?  If you have, you would see the headstones all tell a story.  They may or may not offer us a name, a birthdate, a death date, an inscription, something indicating their career, and even relationships.  For instance, during different time frames, you might see the wife of Dr. Frank Smith, in place of a person’s name.  You might notice patterns in the timing of deaths of children and parents.  Was there a flu epidemic? Did a mother die giving birth?  Did a young man die in war?  Why do some people have large monuments, while others may have crumbling gravestones?  Are the monuments and crumbling gravestones located next to each other?  If there are any dates on the headstones, you can look up the history of grave markers and the materials they were made from.  

Objective: 

Be able to integrate research and information from headstones in two different cemeteries by comparing and contrasting them to have a better understanding of the cultural factors, sociological factors, and historical events represented in the cemeteries visited.

Assignment Requirements:

Only resources that have been cited should be in your reference section.  You will have

AND the cemeteries you will visit (

The history of the grave markers and the history of the cemeteries should be in separate paragraphs

4.    Integration of your observations of the headstones and research that adequately addresses all of the following areas:

·         Cultural Factors (i.e., Identify traditions and beliefs, religion, economics, and art as it pertains to headstones)

·         Historical Events (i.e., Identify epidemics of disease/illnesses, wars, technological/industrial advances of the time of the deceased)
