The Garden Gravestone
http://www.gardenalley.net/gravestone.html
The Gravestone In The Garden. It's no secret that I'm a taphophile. It's a slightly sketchy sounding word, but I have a tremendous interest in old cemeteries. I'm especially interested in the historic Albany Rural Cemetery. And its predecessor, the State Street Burying Grounds. Some headstones, however, didn't make it. Over the years, there have been a few stories of stones found along the route from the park to the South Gate of Albany Rural. And then there's the gravestone of Mary McConnell Vanderveer.
