Tuesday's Tombstones

I'm starting a new Blog idea today, it came to me when I was thinking about trying to keep a theme to my blog. While I'm a bouncer (jumping around) sometimes I need a little more focus. So for each day of the week I will make it a theme. I've decided that Tuesdays are Tombstones day. So it begins.....

What a better way to start my post than with the tombstone of the brother who should have been shot instead of his twin at the Perry County, Alabama Courthouse. Interesting story - but we have no evidence. It's been a new focus lately - to uncover the truth. True or false.

So here lies Jasper J and Rosa B Duke. (While their names were more often than not spelled Jasper Gerome and Rosannah we'll let them remain.)  You can read more about Jasper and his twin brother Newton on both the Duke family Genealogy page and also the Civil War Family page.

Jasper and Rosannah are buried at Mineral Springs Cemetery, Lincoln Parish, Louisiana.
