Crandell Reunion/Vacation part 3-Alvin's Grave

Another stop along our trip was to Alvin's Grave. Alvin Smith was Joseph Smith's brother and Joseph Smith and Lucy Smiths son.He died in 1823 and was buried here in Palmyra, New York. The original headstone is encased in the back of a newer headstone because of the wear and aging. This Cemetery is on a hill which was the site of the first school house in Palmyra, NY. It was neat to visit such an old cemetary and know that the body of someone who lived back there rests.

 

 

 This reads:
In Memory of Alvin, son of Joseph & Lucy Smith who died Nov 19,  1823 in the 25th year of his life.
