I wanted to share this family photo of Alexander Hay with the community. Location: 321 Garfield Ave, Jersey City, Hudson, New Jersey, 07305 USA. 

This is the grave of my great grandparents, Alexander and Euphemia who immigrated from Scotland in 1889. Also in this grave is My great uncle Alexander Jr who came with them. He died from injuries he received in WWI in France. My grandfather William Cockburn Barr Hay was their first child born in the US in 1892. His two middle names were given to him to honor his father cousins, that were businessmen in New Jersey and helped Alexander and his family get established in the US.

That's an interesting headstone because it remembers several family members. And you tell the history of your great grandparents and their descendents from Scotland to America. You've captured it all in just so many words and a lovely image.
