I’ve written a few times about Daniel, Junior’s 5-times great-grandfather
An American Revolutionary Patriot Lies Here, 26 JAN 2013, and
Sunday’s Obituary: 1846 – Daniel SKINNER, GAR (DAR Patriot), 23 DEC 2012
Through the power of the Internet, a photo came to light Daniel’s gravestone.
And, of course, Time has not been kind:
Eldred Cemetery, Lumberland, Sullivan Co, NY
Leprechaunrabbit’s notes:
(1) Across the curved top: Chips in the edge from the probably of being struck (vandalism?) or dropped in transport / delivery.
(2) Left of center: Lichen marks denote moisture variances and the stone’s porous surface.
(3) Left side: Delamination, or water damage; difficult to ascertain from one photograph.
(4) Front face: Wind-shear has made the script at the stone base near impossible to read.
As the Spring weather is returning (2015), perhaps a graveyard rabbit (or genchat genie) might be in the area to snap a few new pictures, a little closer to the stone (for a better assessment)?
