I love gravestones -- I am a fan of family history and genealogy, and I find that gravestones are a beautiful piece of the story. Many stones are difficult to read, since weather and elements and wildlife all take their toll. But when I post a stone from a cemetery, I like to try to preserve the names and dates and words, if possible.
