Nazi de mierda.Burn in hell.
Came across this a few months back
Around 100 acres with more than 37,000 buried.
Dolly, you can breathe easy now. She can't take your man no more.
Came across this grave the other day. Looked liked it was freshly done. I read his obituary and saw that both him and his father were brick layers. I found his father’s grave in another cemetery and it was down in a similar fashion. Just not as big.
It’s really nice how their stone was placed in this.
Different last names and 25-year age difference, buried side by side with matching graves in the same year. Friends? Step-or-half-brothers? Father & Stepson? "Roommates"?

Volunteer headstone restorationist here!
I saw a post on here yesterday about a grave that had the name of a 10 year old and And Baby beneath it. Naturally, many people found this disturbing.

And Baby
At a first glance, it looks like this ten year old died while giving birth. I’m here to say that’s probably not the case.
Having both worked on and made record of old headstones before, I believe this is a grave where the children of adult parents were buried together. They may have died at the same time, or different times.
This is a headstone that I worked on that was similar. The only difference is that it included cause of death. Clarence and Ruth weren’t twins. The larger family headstone nearby explained that they died at different times.
The ground stone just put the two names together, most likely because it was more frugal (headstones are expensive af).
While child death was a dark and upsetting reality back then, you can hopefully feel a little better knowing that it is probably not a much darker alternative.
I get asked a lot about how to be trained in headstone restoration. Here’s my FAQ on that: https://www.reddit.com/u/Adeisha/s/9xamfCoCj1

Located in Saint John's Episcopal Church Cemetery in Hampton, Virginia. He appears to be alive and well! His husband passed away in 2022 :( I hope he and his husband had many wonderful years together.
