Zinc boulder

I first glanced the marker that stands at the grave of Samuel S. Yencer (b. 1875, d. 1907) from behind. It looked like a rough cut boulder. But no! It is a boulder-shaped zinc marker.

  3. I love them too--especially since they are as easy to read today as they were when they were new. Too bad more of them don't use caps and lowercase--SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE THE GRAVESTONES ARE YELLING AT ME.
