This was yet another homemade concrete grave marker.
I’ve seen lots of blank fieldstone markers–just hunks of uninscribed, raw rock–but I’ve never, ever seen this sort of criss-cross pattern incised on a headstone before. I don’t know if it was preliminary to an inscription that was never made. If so, it would be unusual, as none of the other fieldstone markers in this cemetery were inscribed.

This is the first time I’ve seen a man’s headstone inscribed in this way, with his wife’s name. Usually it’s the woman whose headstone says “Wife of…” Fabulous!

I wonder what happened to this family, that killed them all at the same time.
It was bright and sunny while I was at the cemetery, but as I was driving home, I noticed the sky in the west had darkened. I got home just before it started to rain. The weatherman had promised that Saturday would be nice, BUT HE LIED!
