EAST CRAFTSBURY — Erin E. Moulton will describe the meaning behind cemetery iconography, abbreviations and epitaphs at the Craftsbury Community Care Center, East Craftsbury Road, Saturday, Oct. 12, from 3 p.m. to to 4 p.m.
Moulton explains that the local cemetery is a time capsule with each headstone plastered with clues about the deceased, those who once walked where you can walk now. Moulton’s book, “The Beginner’s Guide to Cemetery Sleuthing: Scavenger Hunt and Workbook” will be available for purchase at the close of the program.
Moulton writes books and tracks dead people. As a genealogical researcher, she has explored the lives of the departed for over 14 years. She is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the New Hampshire Historical Society, and the New Hampshire Society of Genealogists and holds a B.A. from Emerson College, an M.F.A. from the Vermont College of Fine Arts, and a Certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University.
The program is a collaboration between the Craftsbury Community Care Center, the John Woodruff Simpson Memorial Library in East Craftsbury, the Hitchcock Memorial Museum and Library in Westfield and is supported by Vermont Humanities.
