The new headstone of Alexander Stuber is carefully lowered into place, using a flatbed truck crane and pulley, at the Camas Cemetery on Friday.
Joey Fuerstenberg, president and owner of Vancouver Granite Works, Inc., was on hand Friday to oversee the replacement of the headstone of Alexander Stuber, who died in 1908. The headstone was vandalized beyond repair in October. Vancouver Granite Works contributed to its replacement. "We kept everything on the new headstone in the order that it was before, but changed the font around a little bit to give it more of an updated look." To re-create the headstone, a rubbing (pictured above) was taken of the original one.
A representation of the Camas community’s generosity was bolted into place on Friday.
A new granite monument at the grave site of Alexander Stuber was secured into place at the Camas Cemetery by employees from Vancouver Granite Works. The original one, more than 100 years old, was destroyed by vandalism in October 2013.
