Wooden Grave Marker Dated 1837


Yes.  This grave marker really is carved in a plank of wood. Unbelievably, it has withstood the elements for 179 years. The only trace of evidence that this 2 year-old boy once lived. I can't help but wonder if his father labored over this piece of wood, chisel in hand.
