I came across some pictures taken in 1983 of family headstones. If anyone is interested I'll try to fiqure out how to scan them and post them here.
1) Wm.J. Ruller and Eliza Brothers
2) Montezuma Brothers
3)Anne Rinn wife of Jas.Brothers, James Luk Brothers
4)Samuel Ruler and his wife Alice Hargrave
5)Infant daughter of William & Ida Ruller
6)Minerva Ruler wife of Roy Ingles
7)Menno Shoemaker and his wife Sarah Brothers
I also have pictures of the farm house where  WJ Ruller lived , the farm house where Ida Brothers lived and the church at Brotherston.

Yeah Monty, I'd certainly be interested in seeing the pictures you mentioned.

I too will be glad to help you with scans and postings, but maybe you should let Randy Help. All his help suggestions end up as part of the overall help files available to all of us.

Here are some of the headstone pictures I have

Minerva Ruller Headstone

Great to see these "headstone pictures"

We should create a whole gallery of Grave Stone pictures.

Keep them comming

I love to see the gravestones and would like to see more.  I would also like it if you could type in the wording on the headstone and were it is located.
Great work.

Isabella Ruller was the first person buried in the South Salem Cemetery. This is mentioned in the book "The Lee Tree" by Barbara Lee Page.

The cemetery was donated by Johnathan Lee.

Isabella's epitaph reads;

"This lovely bud so young and fair;
Called hence by early doom;
Just came to show how sweet a flower,
In Paradise could bloom."

This epitaph marks the 1854 grave of five year old Isabella Ruller

Quoted from "The Lee Tree" by Barbara Lee Page.
The descendents of Jonathan Lee, 1817-1903

Photographed by Randy & Mel Ruller June 2005
