Focused on Mississippi: Pottery grave markers
SUMMARY: During a trip from Amsterdam to Sweden, the author meets Irene Osborne, who tells him about her grandfather, WD Suggs, a Mississippi Potter from Smithville. Suggs is known for using the Lloyd patent to create unique cemetery markers with gray salt glaze and cobalt blue lettering. These markers were affordable alternatives to traditional headstones in a time when money was scarce. Irene and her cousin can recognize their grandfather’s markers by the shade of blue he used. The author reflects on the beauty of Europe but also appreciates learning about the simple dignity of Mississippi’s pottery markers.
