Military Week 2013 - Tuesday

Staying with the Revolutionary War theme.  I found the following markers at Elias Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery, Emmitsburg, Frederick County Maryland.  It is for Christian Clos and his wife.  Preliminary research shows her name was probably Catherine but different sources have different maiden names.

In 

memory of

CHRISTIAN CLOS

who departed this

life september 25

1825 aged 67 year

His wife:  "C.C. 1825"

I like how her plaque has "Daughter And Wife of a Revolutionary Solider"

Thank you for your service Christian Clos 

Military Week 2013 - Monday

For the second year in a row, I will be posting gravestones I have come across that honor our nation's veterans.

As I visit more and older cemeteries, I am coming across Revolutionary War markers.  Today's is found at the Apples United Church of Christ, Thurmont, Frederick County, Maryland.  The odd thing about this one is it is a modern marker.
