Thou art Gone , But Not Forgotten.. Charlie Howard at Mugg cemetery.

Update on Charlie Howard. I am happy to say someone claimed him and linked him to some family members. I worried he was allegorically alone having no parents listed on his Find a grave, but now he is not alone!!! someone claimed him and now cares for his memorial.

Second time I visited the grave before I had began the work.
 The grave after it was first uncovered.
This grave had been buried for some time under brush and leaves. It had been forgotten for a while. I guess the caretakers of the cemetery just didnt clean up that area and therefore did not see what part was peaking through the dirt. I felt terrible the day I was out here so I uncovered it and sat his stone up. I have pictures detailing from when i first found his stone to finally uncovering it and sitting it up.


 Here is a link to charlies Find A grave.

Here the grave is finally out of the dirt and exposed. It had more width than I had thought.

What could be the carvers initials.





The grave is finally sitting back up at charlies grave. If you look you can see the hole that it came from and where the dirt had covered it.
