One of the most common relationships represented on tombstones is mother-child. Mothers are described as loving and affectionate. In honor of Mother’s Day, let’s look at how mothers are remembered on the tombstones of East Cleveland Township Cemetery.
If I can read the faded carving, Mary Bubbs is memorialized as a “loving wife and mother.”
If my German is as good as I think it is, Elisabeth Heil is also remembered as a loving mother.
Jane S. Cullimore’s tombstone remembers her as “our dear mother.”
