Waste family history

 

 Mary C. Waste tombstone in Chico cemetery

This is the tombstone of my great-great-grandmother Mary Waste. Her maiden name was Mary Catherine McIntosh. She is buried next to her husband John Jackson Waste in the Chico cemetery.

Mary died at the young age of 24. Her tombstone had a three-line inscription but only the first two lines can be read today:

"For O, there's naught but happiness,

in that bright heavenly home,

Mary's tombstone is different than the others in the Waste family plot. It appears to be made of pink marble and is facing the opposite direction than all the others.
