In 2013, I spent some time wandering around the graveyards in Shepherdstown, and I was quite saddened to see that the although the “Reformed Graveyard” was well maintained, directly across the street, the Lutheran graveyard was barely maintained and in terrible shape.

I was delighted to find that someone has stepped up and done a great deal of work cleaning up the Lutheran Graveyard, including putting back up fallen gravestones.

It looks like the fallen headstones that had been moved from their original place are now neatly leaned up against the cemetery wall.

Aged 82 years and 17 days.

Polly was the only thing I could read on this stone.
