Genealogical
Society to present Cemetery Symbols program
Angela Hoschouer in cooperation with Darke County Genealogical Society
will present a program on Cemetery Symbols on Sunday, April 3,2016 at
2:00 p.m. at Garst Museum.
Have you ever wandered through a cemetery and wondered about the
meanings of the designs carved on old gravestones? Thousands of
different religious and secular symbols and emblems have adorned
tombstones through the ages, indicating attitudes towards death and the
hereafter, membership in a fraternal or social organization, or an
individual's trade, occupation or even ethnic identity. While
many of these tombstone symbols have fairly simple interpretations, it
is not always easy to determine their meaning and significance.
Angela Hoschouer is the Manager of Development and Marketing for
Woodland Cemetery in Dayton, OH. has a history of managing multiple
fundraising projects in the non-profit sector and coordinating many of
Dayton's largest attended special events and programs. She is a
founding member of the Randolph Twp. Historical Society, a member fo
the OH Genealogical Society with status as a First Family of Ohio,
First Family of Greene County and a member of the Society of Civil War
Families of Ohio.
This program is free and open to anyone. There will be
refreshments served after the program, then followed by the meeting of
the Darke County Genealogical Society.
