Tombstone Tuesday – Salinda E. (Rose) Breneman

December 8th, 2009
Salinda (Rose) Breneman, daughter of Eden and Elsie/Elcy Rose, is my great-grandmother on my mother’s side.
Looking at this photo today, I wish I’d been better prepared to take tombstone photos. I should have had a soft whisk brush with me, a cloth, something to carry water to the stones, and perhaps even a tiny rake, or grass shears in some places.
Shown on the Stone:
Mother
Salinda E. Breneman

Great-grandmother Salinda is buried in the Milan Cemetery, Ryan Township, Sumner County, Kansas. The cemetery is about 12 miles west of Wellington, KS on Highway 160.
She is shown with her parents and siblings on the 1860 census when she is just 7 years old.

Salinda was married to Constantine “Tom” Breneman, but they divorced later in life.
