Hi my name is Theresa Conway. I moved to Beverly Mass in 2011 after living in Farmington nh for 35yrs. I was born in Lynn Mass. All wonderful shoe towns. While trying to discover my new home town I came across this wonderful site and I’m curious about the gravestone glossary. Do the lunettes have specific meanings? Particularly the death head carving.
