Hey I hope everyone is well. I visited an older cemetery (late 1800s early 1900s) yesterday. There are probably 100 people buried there. Well there were three graves that all had footstones with a big X carved on them. There was nothing else inscribed, and it was about dark and the headstones were hard to read due to age. I have never seen an X carved on a footstone, and these three graves were all lined up together. No other footstone in the cemetery had one. Anyone seen this before and know what it means? I'm sure its just for marking purposes but I couldn't find anything on the internet about it and again it was new to me. Thanks!
