Marker is a building block
"It will be noted that a number of the markers are red ceramic building blocks. Roy Champer of Carrollton who was born in 1900, recalls making these markers while employed by the Carrollton Brick Company from 1922-1925."

Mary Ann Champer died Sunday on the Champer farm west of town where she passed her earthly span of 83 years. Some time ago she fell and broke a hip, and this together with dropsy was the cause of her death. She was one of a family of 11 children, of whom only three survive: Israel Champer, Mrs. Alfred Maffett and Mrs. Joseph Staley. Her grandfather, Jacob Champer, was one of Carroll county's earliest settlers, a soldier in the war of the Revolution, who emigrated from Maryland in the early part of the last century and entered land which still remains in the possession of his descendants. Her father, also named Jacob, served several terms as county surveyor in the 40's and 50's. Mary Ann Champer was a woman noted for her hospitality and kindness of heart. The traveler, the wayfarer, the poor and lowly were never turned away from her door. In simple Christian charity she continually laid up treasure in Heaven. In religious belief she clung to the Christian (Campbellite) faith. Funeral on Tuesday, 22 inst. Interment in the Champer cemetery, the ancient burying ground of her ancestors.
