Do you see the differences in the tombstones for Uncle Cromey and Aunt Mory? Uncle Cromey's is more rectangular and has no adornments except his year of birth and year of death. Looking at Aunt Mory's it is much smaller in contrast and has the daffodil, a cross and her year of birth and her year of death. She also has an outline around her name, the flower, the cross and dates.
This is my great Aunt Anna May "Mory" Orth Hoskins, she died in 1975. As a matter of fact my great aunt and uncle died in March. Uncle Cromey on March 3rd and seven years later Aunt Mory died on March 7th. Aunt Mory is buried in Calvary Catholic Ceremony along with her two children, William Cromey "Billy" Hoskins (1921-1928) and Majorie Hoskins (1919-1934). Billy died from pneumococcal meningitis and Marjorie died of a brain tumor. Aunt Mory and her children are not buried in the same plot but they are near each other. Both Billy and Marjorie have the daffodils on their stones as does Aunt Mory and her parents, Conrad and Katherine (Wilkie) Orth.
