Tomestone Tuesday ~ Corrine Elliot Lawton



This is the tombstone of Corinne Elliott Lawton who died on January 24, 1877. Born September 23, 1846, Corinne was born into a wealth and privilege as the daughter of General Alexander Robert Lawton (1818-1896) and Sarah Gilbert Alexander Lawton (1826-1897). She is buried in Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, Georgia. There is a story told about how Corrine died but I have learned that it is incorrect. I am hoping to post at later date the true story of her passing.
