Malinda (Frost Dwight) Hill The first three photos on this page are of my great-grandmother's headstone. However, this is the most important for all Dwight families and their kin. My grandfather made his mother's tombstone and he listed all of his brother's on the back side. The only thing I will never understand is why he did not list his only sister Elizabeth. She was first born and was carried seven days through the woods after the indian massacre at Fort Parker. (photo taken July 2002) |
