Type of Marker: Headstone on base
Material: Marble
Issues: Biogrowth, sugaring, sunken
Comments: Placement needs to be figured out. Historic Map places stone next to wife where the base #122 sits. Could have been missplaced due to historic fire in that area of the cemetery. Probing reveals a burried base, which further adds to the confusion. Excavate and determine relationship to the base #122.
Recommended Treatment: Cleaning w/biocide, consolidation, excavation, raising
Evaluation
Historic Integrity: Compromised
Structural Integrity: Good
Material Integrity: Good
