My annual listen as October begins and Halloween beckons - “All Saints’ Eve” by Leah Bodine Drake (published by Arkham House in 1950) as read by Vincent Price. It’s like the essence of the season in 80 seconds:

I believe so. It matches his lettering in that era and the borders of several stones from around that date. Too bad it’s mostly been lost.

His stone is still in better condition that his wife’s marker however:

I’m all but certain this is the headstone of Mary “Sinckler” (as per the inscription records) based on the tiny remnant of lettering in the bottom right.

The lettering also tells me this was made by William Young.

Vital records for Mary and William. Her stone was intact as of 1909 which this work was published.

Considering the ongoing loss of surface, I feel this stone should be removed, conserved, and replaced with a duplicate.

The damage to the right side of the stone seems to have happened at some point between the Harriette Forbes photo (left) and the Daniel Farber photo (right). Forbes was active in early 20th century, Farber from 1960s to the 90s.

Coded as HF1021 in the Farber collection, I believe these “HF” images are from Forbes. Note the damage from mowers.

By the time Daniel Farber documented this stone, the right section had been lost.

Today my Call of Cthulhu scenario "Sun Spots" is Deal of the Day on DTRPG. It was written in collaboration by gaming legend Keith 'Doc' Herber and contains dozens of illustrations by the amazing Reuben Dodd!

In a twist perhaps familiar to Call of Cthulhu players, a side investigation of mine has uncovered evidence that a gravestone carver though to have died in 1771 in Pennsylvania lived at least to 1778, perhaps longer, in New York State.

I don’t know who changed the timeline so that egg nog is for sale in mid-September, but thanks, I guess.
