Stone found june 9, 2021

Catherine Snook (5301083)

Suggested edit: update - found stone. It's next to John Snook. Now upright.

This primitive stone reads C A 1821 - possibly Catherine Ambrose. The flag would be for one of the graves over.

Wife of John Snook age 64 y 5 mo 21 days.

Catherine's stone was recorded in cemetery indexing in 1976 - however no stone found next to John in this row. Stone in photograph is NOT Catherine's stone. It is now reset and that of John Snook.

This is Old Section #3 Row 18 1/r

Several primitive graves beside this marked "1812 M M" , RM footstone, CA 1821, METS, and a few at the end of row, rock with T.M., stone with Civil War Flag, blank stone. Other surnames in this row : Mets, Eyster, Clupper, Rupert, Yearian. Since the blank stones cannot be indexed, they are here for reference as possible family relationship.

Photo of flat headstone taken by Donald C Rupert in 1998 and submitted by Thegravestonehunter (JD Miller). Believe that stone has now been reset and reads John Snook (her spouse) (see his memorial)
