Among my favorite things to document these days are vernacular headstones. This one, in White Chapel Cemetery, was created to honor Annie Mosely. Her name is spelled Mosly on the marker, but it was likely Mosley. It’s a concrete memorial with handwritten text, and an added decoration. Ms. Mosley was born just after the Civil War and died just before World War II.


Hi Brian! Her last name could’ve also been spelled Moseley. I have a bunch of cousins on my Dad’s side who spell it that way and many of them still live around Toombs, Emanuel, and Treutlen counties.
