The weather was just about perfect today, so I decided to go over to Rose Hill Cemetery to take some photos. I didn’t get many, because after 15-20 minutes a funeral procession showed up. And, of course, my car was parked right in their way. I felt horrible about that, even though there was no way for me to have known, so I left as soon as I could.
One thing I noticed, as I was wandering around, is that a lot of the older headstones have been replaced with new and therefore uninteresting (to me) granite markers. The older ones were often made of limestone, which is porous and soft. Inscriptions on those stones are sometimes worn completely away, and other times they’ve been re-incised.
