  2. I guess they just don't make 'em like they used to. A nice way to remember someone.

  4. This is not his gravestone. It is an old plaque to honor Jonathan Edwards. His gravestone is elsewhere in the graveyard.

  8. Very nice photograph. I won't say anything about Edwards, 'cause he was not a nice man at all, and, in my opinion, did one heck of a lot of damage in our country. Oops. Well, I'll quit now.
