Below are some ideas of items students might be challenged to find: Who served in the military? (Spanish American War, Civil War, Revolutionary War) Who has a (street, road, park, school, library, etc.) named after them? Who came from another (country, state, in a wagon train, etc.)? Who has non-English words written on their headstone? Who has a photograph or carving of themselves on the headstone? Who has the tallest monument? Who has a monument made of (zinc, wood, concrete, marble, granite, etc.)? Who has a monument with a carving of an (animal, tree, gate, angel, etc.) on it? Who has a poem on their stone? Who (drowned, was hanged, fell down a well, was run over by a team of horses, etc.)? Who lived for only one day? Who has the oldest grave? Who has a (iron fence, hedge, gate, concrete wall, etc.) surrounding their grave? What family has a vault or the largest vault? What family has the most members buried here? Who has the most recent grave? Who has a "homemade" marker? Name three people who died the same month and year. Who had two wives or husbands? Who was a (doctor, lawyer, teacher, minister, wagon train leader, etc.)? These are just some ideas to get you started. You know your cemetery best. Pass along its uniqueness.
