Urn and Willow Publishing has announced the release of a new DVD publication: “Photographs of Lakeville, Massachusetts Gravestones 1711-2003,” by Jean A. Douillette. The pictorial companion to the recent book “Lakeville, Massachusetts Gravestone Inscriptions 1711-2003,” contains excess of 6,000 photographs. Every gravestone present in the 31 known cemeteries of Lakeville in 2003 is included on the DVD. Also, one or more photographs for every gravestone mentioned in the book is found on the DVD.
Lakeville resident, Jean A Douillette, started taking photographs of the gravestones in 2002 when she obtained a digital camera. Her book. “Lakeville, Massachusetts Gravestone Inscriptions 1711-2003,” published in 2007, was favorably reviewed by the American Library Association in the July 2008 edition of their Booklist magazine. That says something. Not all books get reviewed in Booklist.
The book and DVD may be purchased online at www.urnandwillow.com.
There’s a very good article about the book and DVD in the February 5, 2009 edition of the Boston Globe. Click here to read it at their site.
