Anthony Healey, 1841-1922

before

after about a week

work by Shannon M.

D2, the cleanser we use to remove impurities from stone, can take up to a year to work. Here you can see some progress after about a week. I'm looking forward to updating this one in a couple of months!

Note that there are no dates on these headstones. I was able to find Anthony on findagrave.com and confirmed it was the right person on ancestry.com. You can tell a lot about a soldier from their headstones-- in this case, this is a civil war veteran on the Union side. Shapes and inscriptions on US military grave markers have changed over time. They offer clues into what war a soldier fought in if there are no dates available.
