This way you will know what tombstones are close to others. On tombstones that list husband and wife, I will number it with an 'a' and a 'b'. Important info from the tombstone is also included. A '~' is used when the info is unreadable. Some tombstones had a symbol on them, and I can't remember the proper name for it. It stands for a Masonic society. It will be noted with an '@'. 1a.
