The Tombstone

8:26 AM | | Edit Post

Since so many of you are interested (ha!), I took a couple of photos of the tombstone we dug up when we first moved to Pennsylvania eight years ago. I was actually better able to read the tombstone from the photos than I was from the actual stone itself.

After finding the tombstone, we dug deeper and farther out than originally planned, but found no signs of a box or bones. Just the tombstone. It's a mystery.

The tombstone reads:

Lewis E.

son of

Daniel B. & Lilly

LEAS

Died March 15, 1901

Aged 11 months

and 11 days

At least that's what I believe it reads.

It will be interesting to see what happens when I move it off the property.......ohhhhhhhhhh!
