Cemetery Headstone
« on: Saturday 22 September 12 04:22 BST (UK) »
I post this in Deciphering & Recognition Help as well, but was wondering if there was anyway of sharpening the photo to be able to see it better.
Thanks

Not sure if this helps but it appears to read as


MARY

In affectionate remembrance
of her beloved husband
MARTIN O’BRIEN
Died 20th ………..1879
Aged 60/80? years

………..? trusted son
JAMES
Called Home?  1876
aged 16 years

There is something on the top of the headstone Latin perhaps that I can't make out

Cheers

I'm pretty sure the very top line is "Erected", and there must be a "by" underneath it somewhere, before Mary's name :)

How did I do it?

I just sat at the laptop for 3hrs, with Photoshop, each letter is placed individually, and the font changed as required.

Yes Pru,  I can see it now, I will repost
