I found a transcription of the markers in this cemetery that listed this as the “Dollar” mausoleum. This bothered me enormously for one small error, because I can be quite pedantic.

A Grave Concern: Uncle Jimmie

It may not be as clear in the photo as it was in person, but someone has taken the time to carve the name Uncle Jimmie into the top of this stone more deeply than the rest of the inscription. It appears to me that this was done a number of years ago, as the beginning of the name has begun to be obscured again by dirt and weathering, but I wonder who would make the effort to go to the cemetery and do this but only work on that first line?
A Grave Concern: Crown Hill Cemetery, Put-in-Bay

Recently our friends took me on my first trip to Put-in-Bay, Ohio. Put-in-Bay is located on South Bass Island, one of the Lake Erie Islands. Put-in-Bay was the port from which Oliver Hazard Perry sailed to fight in the Battle of Lake Erie in the War of 1812, and there is a large monument on the island to that which I will address in another post. Since Victorian times, South Bass Island and specifically the village of Put-in-Bay have been a popular summer tourist destination, with a much smaller year round population. The island has two cemeteries, Crown Hill being the older one, often referred to as “the island cemetery” in the exhibits at the Lake Erie Islands Historical Society museum.
The historical society also had a valuable resource – a map of the cemetery with the family plots marked out and the name of the plot owner, other people known to be buried in the plot, and the others’ relationship to the owner. The map makes the cemetery look less than full, but the historical society museum hostess told us that the unmapped plots are full as well – of the unidentified bodies that washed up on the island shores. The island weather has not been particularly kind to the old stones in this cemetery, and a much larger proportion of them than I am used to were unreadable.
