Tombstone Tuesday: Ann Cleo Blackston Stout

Ann Cleo Blackston Stout was my Great-Aunt on my father’s side.  She died in August after I was born in January so I have no memories of her but I did know her daughter when I was a child.  We would see each other when we visited my Great-Grandfather Claude Stout. 

Ann is buried in Friendship Cemetery directly across from my Great Grandparents Claude and Elsie Reynolds Stout and diagonally from my Grandparents CH and Gwen Stout Thompson.
