About I came across this grave marker in one of my sojourns through an old country cemetary. I also became curious about the individual buried there. I inquired at the local funeral home and a very sweet old lady told that me that an unidentified body was found near a local river in 1926 and was buried. She also told that she received around 100 inquiries per year about this grave. The round disk near the lower right corner is a penny that I placed on the stone so viewers could gauge the size of the marker.

Intersting story, we have a similar story in our town. I like the starkness of the word "Unknown" with the bright white background.

Such a small stone to mark a full (or nearly full) life...
