SUMMARY:St. Cloud Area Genealogists: Reading Gravestone Symbols
DESCRIPTION:St. Cloud – Have you ever seen a symbol on a tombstone and wondered if it had significant meaning? For centuries\, designs appeared on tombstones\, but during the Victorian era\, these symbols flourished and often contributed to narratives about relationships\, military service\, occupations\, economic status and social standing.\n\nOn Tuesday\, Jan. 21\, Joy Neighbors will present “The Silent Language of the Stones: Reading Gravestone Symbols” for the St. Cloud Area Genealogists (SCAG) at 7 p.m. This online event will be presented live for viewing remotely or watching with others at the Stearns History Museum\, 235 33rd Ave. S.\, St. Cloud.\nJoy is a tombstone tourist with an avid interest in cemeteries\, history and genealogy. She is the author of “The Family Tree Cemetery Field Guide\,” writes the cemetery culture blog “A Grave Interest” and speaks nationally about cemetery research. She edits the Indiana Genealogist\, the quarterly journal of the Indiana Genealogical Society and works as the communication director with Cream of Kentucky Distilling.\nThe program is free to SCAG members; $7 for non-members. Non-members can pay at the door. The individual annual membership rate for SCAG is $25.
