Before we go any farther, I must put a few more photos up here. It shows a gravesite here in the church. When it was first erected in 1900, and how it looks today. The name is Frederick GUNN, who was a brother of my grandmother, Mary Ann GUNN POOLE. Kind of interesting I think.

#45 The original monument. Frederick Gunn died in 1900.

#46 1969 Only bottom remains by the path. The cross is leaning on the wall behind..

#47 Sue finds it again in 1971.

#48 In 1999 it had been moved back to the wall where it remains today, near the cross which once crowned the very top. See photo #45.

#49 It looks the same in 2003.

GUNN CROSS

This beautiful photo of the CROSS was taken by Susie.
Susie had no idea as to the identity of the cross when taking the photo, but was simply looking for a "Gothic" photo to capture. She thinks she must have been guided to it somehow.
(See the cross in it's original position photo #45 in 1900)
Susie's Great Grandmother's brother lies here.
