Tombstone
Amnesty is seeking members of the NUNES family who
would be interested in attending a rededication of the tombstone of
Manuel NUNES,
whose tombstone was stolen many years ago and taken to
Sebastopol. The people who found the tombstone have turned it over to Tombstone
Amnesty
for return to the Forever Fernwood Cemetery in
Marin County. A ceremony of return and celebration is being planned for
an unspecified date in the future.
Having NUNES family members in
attendance would be a big plus.
Tombstone
Amnesty
is designed to return lost or stolen tombstones to their rightful
cemetery. We will accept, no questions asked, tombstones that someone
has at
their home or wherever. If the possessor knows where the
tombstone came from, so much the better. If not, we will figure it out
and return the tombstone.
Tombstone
Amnesty is
not a police
organization. It is not our intention to go around questioning people
as to the origin of the tombstone that happens to be in their
back
yard. We don't want people ratting on their neighbors. If someone has a
tombstone and wants to keep it, fine. Tombstone
Amnesty exists
to take
in unwanted
tombstones, so they're not lost or destroyed forever.
If you
know of a tombstone in
northern California that wants to go home, please contact Tombstone
Amnesty.
