This monument is a little different from the usual. Instead of listing each family member’s name and birth and death dates (or years), two panels have a heading of “births” and list the name of the family member and his or her birthdate. Another panel lays out “deaths” in the same pattern. Of course, two of the birth panels are completed and only one death panel, so we have a few options here: 1. some family members ended up buried elsewhere; 2. nobody paid to have the death information added after the burials, or 3*. there are some vampires in the family. You decide.
* 4. I should not be permitted to write blog posts after a certain hour.
This is interesting — and a little confusing, since it seems you have to keep walking around this thing to see who was born and died when. Perhaps some of the missing death dates were because the family just didn’t have the money to have it done? Or maybe they ARE vampires!!!
