And he lived to 70... Thanks for keeping this simple, factual, no frills. Thought-provoking in a very quiet way.

I am so very interested in both history and genealogy, so this is fascinating to me. How well the stone has withstood the effects of the elements too. Seems only right, given how the person it commemorates was likewise a survivor! Love the simplicity of your capture. Pin-sharp and perfectly focused.

Did not know about this grave, Mike. Excellent capture of the tones & texture of the stone, beautifully mottled in the light.
