Pegging & a special mortar mixture
allowed this broken tablet to be
returned to it's original upright position
**the mortar mixture helps to seal the seam
to keep the moisture out and hold the
pieces of the broken tablet together.Aug 14, 2010

" Restoration Required "
Old M. L. Ward F is in desperate need of some
restoration, due to stones being broken
and vandalized & also from natural causes.
** Stone on right tipped from the roots of a
tree growing up under the base, causing the
whole stone to tip and topple. (cp)Aug 12, 2010

can ruin grave stones in just a matter
