“By the fall from a swing”
Discovering “special” gravestones is always a treat. Here is gravestone that reminds us that it is not always elaborate carvings and unusual shapes that make a stone special.

Just when you think you've seen it all.....LOL! Now I'm wondering just what kind of swing it was that a 16 year old would be swinging on. A rope swing maybe? We used to swing on rope swings and let go as we swung out over the river. Ahhh, the good old days!
ReplyDeleteI just love it when headstones reveal such fascinating information and it sent chills right through me, because a few weeks ago when we had our grandaughter to stay, she had a nasty fall from a swing. Luckily no harm was done..........
