The stone is a simple granite, rather weathered with just the years 1857-1945.

Tombstone Tuesday--Omar Allen
Yup, another one from my family. GGrandpa Omar was the father of Delva, featured last week. His stone is in Alton cemetery, in Vergennes township, Kent county, Michigan. It is a beautiful old rolling cemetery. The original church is in the corner of the cemetery and many family members names are listed in their rolls.
Luckily, on my trips there I have been accompanied by my aunt, who knew right where to find GGrandpa Omar and his second wife, Carrie Ford Cross Allen.

Interestingly he passed away just a week after his son died.
