Hand-made grave marker

Hand-made grave marker
I have a thing for hand-made grave markers. They strike me as more
meaningful than commercially-made ones. With this one, I even like
the plastic flowers and solar light.

It is signed by its maker, Samuel's granddaughter. It probably won't
last too many years, though. That's a good thing about
commercially-made headstones. I didn't pull back the leaves, but I
expect Ms Harrison put the stone there last July, 2015. If it makes
it through a few more Julys, it will be remarkable.

When I Googled Samuel Noseworthy's name the very first hit was
information about him. He came from Cape St Francis, about twenty
crow-flies km north of St. John's where this graveyard is. My own
grandmother and her parents are buried not far from this grave.

I took the picture in late March 2016 on 2014-expired Kodak Colorplus film
in my sixty-years-old Kodak Retina 1a.
