Tombstone Tuesday - In Cherokee - Alsie Sanders
Cherokee baby - Alsie Sanders
This stone is in the Cherokee font. About 70-75 years ago, Looney Henson translated the stone to his niece. He told her the stone said "Alsie Sanders, daughter of Joe and Maudie Sanders." Alsie was a baby when she died. The stone is very small -- only about 12 - 18 inches tall.
Those are my thoughts for today.
Thank you for reading.
