Tombstone Tuesday - Rockville Cemetery, Lynbrook, New York




I don't know any of these people, but I was wandering around Rockville Cemetery last Friday on my day off, as I am wont to do unlike normal people who go to the mall or to the beach, and these headstones all caught my eye. I spend so much time in Catholic cemeteries - wait, that makes it sound like I'm always hanging out in cemeteries. I'm not, I swear. But whenever I go to a cemetery for genealogy research, it's always either a Catholic cemetery or a nonsectarian cemetery dominated by Christian markers. So these headstones stood out, so I thought I'd share them with you.

If you're anywhere near Long Island and our mega-heat today, try to stay cool!
