Tombstone Tuesday- Wilkinson Cemetery, Gilford, NH

I have used the website findagrave.com for many years, and have even contributed many gravestone photos and information to the website.  Recently I made my first photo requests to findagrave.com for some gravestones of distant family in Gilford, New Hampshire.  I was very lucky to make contact with a very nice woman, Carol Twomey, and it was her first volunteer effort! She found the Wilkinson family burial ground, and took these fantastic photos for me.  She also posted them on Picasa and at findagrave.com    Thank you!  THANK YOU, Carol!

According to Carol Twomey, this cemetery is
located on the south side of route 11B, about 1/4 mile west
of the intersection with route 11C
