Picture avail alert.

You notice that for some reason, even though the back is all chiseled off nice and could be written as well as the front, they finished off the writing on the SIDE of the stone when they got 60% of the way down the front...

WHY? Were they going to stick it in the ground like a tombstone? When it was found the whole thing was flat a few inches underground and clasped in the roots of an aspen tree of some 75 yrs of age.
