 Thanks to an excellent price from Tims Mims at Mims Memorials the CCA has placed a 6' X 3' x 6" granite slab on the grave of Sarah Crockett Goodgame. Tim tells me that this slab weighs 1700 pounds so we feel sure that this is a stone that vandals can not easily steal again!
Due to the low price that Tim offered the CCA on this stone we were also able to purchase replacement headstones for Sara Rasberry Goodgame and Reese Goodgame at the nearby Williams Goodgame Cemetery.
Sarah Crockett Goodgame's new granite slab, which can be viewed at this link, was inscribed exactly as her original headstone:
Sacred To the memory of
Sarah Crocket
Wife of John Goodgame
Born in Virginia A.D. 1780
moved to Georgia, in early life
Removed to Alabama in 1819
Attached herself to the Baptist
church the same year and lived an
orderly member until she departed
this life the 30th, of Sept. 1853
Aged 73 years
"Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord"
|
Thanks to Glenn Littleton we have this picture of Sarah's original headstone.
