This beautiful grave monument marks the burial place of Mrs. M. A. Dotherow in Brooksville Cemetery, located in Noxubee County, Mississippi. The large marble monument bears the resemblance of a draped altar, with its top adorned with a partially covered urn.

Recently, while I was researching online, I stumbled upon Carol's House, a very nicely put together family history website maintained by a Mississippi native who now lives in another state. From her website, Carol provides links to pictures and information about her relatives who are buried in several cemeteries located in Kemper, Marshall, Neshoba, Newton, and Noxubee Counties. When writing about her deceased ancestors, Carol includes a picture of the cemetery and the gravestone, along with a profile of her deceased relative. Also on her website, Carol has provided links to historical pictures and information about people, places, and things that relate to the area around Union, Mississippi where she apparently lived at one time.

I highly recommend checking out Carol's House if you are researching family members who either lived in or migrated through any of the counties listed above.
