BOB T Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 When to cemeteries this afternoon, went to the one in Rock Island, IL ,Chipplannock which is famous for its on usual headstones, knew there was one there that was an anvil and Headstone is marked, Smith.. There are two more that I found in the same cemetery that had the anvils, pretty neat looking... Two large ones actually had tools of granite laying on top of them.

Frosty Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Beautiful headstones, thanks for posting. I'm just relieved you weren't looking for a headstone for your anvil. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Einhorn Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 That is a very impressive headstone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 In Ohio there is one where they used the actual anvil of an indigent smith as his headstone. As I recall one of the Sofa members arranged to have the hammer that was welded to it rehandled as necessary. Unfortunately I recall a report that the anvil was later stolen.

That is a shame, probably scapped for drug money.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
