Description

Milton C. Marshall born 1899, died 1931. This tombstone features an example of a photo-ceramic insert. Ceramic tombstone pictures were invented in the mid-19th century through a process of transferring photographic images onto ceramic (usually porcelain). The ceramic photographs could then be adhered to a tombstone. This tombstone features a photo-ceramic insert of Marshall and laurel design engravings on the stone. As of 2013 the photo-ceramic insert had been removed from the stone.
