TOMBSTONE INSCRIPTIONS & PHOTOGRAPHS IN Last Rest Cemetery

Recommendations: first, view the list of tombstone inscriptions in the link directly below (PDF file); match up the inscription with the photograph of the tombstone. This should be done because the inscription list will have more detail, while the photograph link has only brief information. Please do not request additional photographs (as I do not live in NH currently). If you do not see your ancestor/relative here, check the transcription list FIRST, and if it appears there, then other photographs to see if your ancestor's stone is in the background. Some of the stones were missing, broken, or illegible. The photographs are not ALL the tombstones, only some of the stones in the oldest section. In a few cases the inscriptions are not shown in the original tombstone listing, so I have provided the inscription as a hypertext link to the photograph.
