Jan 19, 2021 Show Guest: David M. Habben
January 19, 2021 show: On this episode of Tombstone Tuesday, I will interview cemetery historian, David M. Habben.
David has been documenting, photographing, and researching cemeteries and graveyards for nearly 20 years. His interest began when visiting the graves of blues musicians in Chicago, where he grew up.
His work as a paramedic in Emergency Medical instruction and consulting has taken him all over the world where he has visited hundreds of cemeteries and taken thousands of photographs.
David has previous experience in law enforcement prior to his EMS work, and works part-time for a local funeral home. He has, and continues, to study the history of cemeteries and the symbols and emblems on grave stones which our ancestors used to relate information to those who could not read.
His classes, “Carved in Stone” and “Who Lies Beneath?” have been presented through Boise Community Education during each quarter for several years, at numerous genealogy and family history conferences and paranormal and ghost conferences throughout the country.
David grew up in the Chicago area, lived and worked in Oregon, and now lives in Boise, Idaho.
