Read More	Her first husband was Marion T. Wyman married in Knox Co., IL on 8 Mar. 1885 ____________________________________ This grave marker is a "Zinker" made by Monumental Bronze Co. between 1874 and 1914 in Bridgeprt, CT. They were referred to as "white bronze", although they are neither white nor bronze. They are made of zinc, and exposure to the elements gives them their distinctive blue-gray color. The Monumental Bronze Co. was the only company in the United States to make these unusual markers, and all the casting was done in Bridgeport, although some assembly of the final product was done by a few subsidiaries. The variety was virtually unlimited since each marker was cast in individual pieces and then assembled. There were no dealer showrooms where you could go and look at various markers, just an "agent" with an illustrated catalog, who could sometimes send you to a nearby cemetery to see a marker that he had sold. In fact, the marble and granite tombstone makers often resented the Monumental Bronze agents because, with no stock, no tools, no facilities, and no training, the agents could sell the least expensive white bronze marker for as little as $2.00, underselling the traditional carvers who had a considerable investment in time and money. Whatever else may be said about white bronze markers, they certainly are "genealogist-friendly". After 100 to 125 years, every word, every name, every date is as clear and legible as the day it was cast.
