Date

1959-03

Description

Edwin S. and Edith C. Giles graves in Goldfield (Nevada) Cemetary. Inscription reads: "Picture taken March 1959. This is a picture of the graves of my beloved parents Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Scofield Giles. They rest here in the 'shadow of the malaphie' at Goldfied, Nevada where they lived so happily for 30 years. Their grave is covered with purple glass and green to try to make it less eugly [sic] as nothing will grow here... Clyde and I made this cover-ing-by pressing by hand the purple and green glass into fresh cement, to resemble purple flowers with a green border, a task of love." - Edith G. Barcus
