The Stones of Titler: Brown
The next grouping is a rather imposing tombstone that has pictures of the couple on one side and on the backside is the information regarding their lives.
In both the publications of Lillie and Sanchez (see past posts) there is mention of a Kenneth Reno stone. I do not have a photo of this stone. Ms. Lillie states it was removed. This stone of Lowell is not included in either publication.
Please remember, I did not take pictures of every stone.

Stones of Titler Cemetery - Spracklin/len
The name of Spracklin has many spellings and can be spelled with the "lin" ending or the "len" ending. I have also seen other versions of the names like: Spranklin, Spratlin etc.
The stones for the Spracklins were in disarray and clustered under a tree. The 3 sided obelisk that was the Spracklin stone was off its base. We placed it back on top of the base. There was inscription on 3 sides of the stone, front, right and left, nothing on the back side toward the tree. Because there was a 2nd stone for the boy Oliver, it is believed that the obelisk was relatively new and other stones had been lost except for Oliver's small stone.
