Tombstone Tuesday ~ Ashbys in Rosehill Cemetery, Chicago

Mary Elizabeth (Gorin) Ashby is buried in Chicago at Rosehill Cemetery, along with her husband, Daniel Morgan Ashby, and several of her children.

I have linked the family members at Find-A-Grave, and the kind Find-A-Grave volunteer, Jim Craig of Under Every Stone (if you haven't checked out his blog - you must), notes on his Find-A-Grave page that he gives permission for his photographs to be used for any non-commercial purpose, so below are photos of my second great grandparents' gravestones, courtesy of Jim Craig.

Mary E. Ashby
1833-1891

Daniel M. Ashby
1828-1907



I appreciate the last photo which shows the gravestones of the family plot in relation to each other.

  3. How nice of Jim to take the photos and give permission for you to use (I also do that). Lucky you. I've decided to follow Jim too, because he is from the city where my father was born. Thanks Elizabeth
