“Who Carved the Tombstones?

 

Tales of the Ozark Stone Carvers and Their Craft”

 

Abby Burnett

Researcher and Author

  

Tuesday, August 23, 2011

Boone County Library

221 W. Stephenson

5:30 – 6:30 p.m.

 

The men (and one woman) who carved tombstones in the Arkansas Ozarks were an artistic and unusual bunch of individuals. This talk will focus on their lives and eccentric personalities. It will also examine how they learned their craft, one woman's creation of an unusual Civil War memorial, and a famous hoax perpetuated by a tombstone carver in 1880.

Abby Burnett, a former newspaper reporter and columnist, has written numerous articles for local historical journals and for the online Arkansas Encyclopedia of History and Culture, most of them having to do with tombstones and stone carvers. She was featured in AETN's cemetery documentary, "Silent Storytellers" which aired in 2010 and 2011 on public television. At present, she is finishing work on a book on burial customs of the Arkansas Ozarks, which includes sections on cemeteries, tombstones, quarries and carvers.
