Ages: 18+ Open to the Public
No Charge – Reservations NOT requiredWhen visiting a cemetery, have you ever wondered about the information on a headstone? The name and dates are obvious, but what about the symbol on the stone? Does a hand with a finger pointed up mean the person went to heaven? If so, what is the meaning of the hand with a finger pointed down? Karen Good will answer this question and explain other symbols in this informative presentation. Program is offered by the E.B. and Bertha C. Ball Center in association with Westminster Village.
Presenter: Karen Good, board member and chair of Ancestor Hunters, Delaware County Historical Society; and the Indiana County Genealogist
