Photo Friday: Cozy in Death

at Jollett United Methodist Church Cemetery
Jollett Hollow, Page County, VA

I just love this tombstone showing Hiram Meadows between two of his three wives. It’s the first wife that I care about.

Mary Jollett was none other than Mary Etta Virginia Jollett, daughter of John Wesley Jollett and Sarah Elizabeth Smith. That makes her a niece of my great-great-grandfather James Franklin Jollett.

Mary E. V. was born about 1854 and died around 1874, perhaps in childbirth.
