Fascination with cemeteries was evident at the Lawrence Public Library last night, as seventy-four people attended the very interesting Talking Tombstones: History in the Cemetery program presented by Dr. Al Hamscher, Kenneth S. Davis Professor of History at KSU. Dr. Hamscher discussed the changes in tombstone imagery and design that have taken place over the years as society's religious and cultural attitudes toward death have changed.
Many thanks to the Kansas Humanities Council for providing funding for this great program.
