Paid my respects to a Dangerous Old Man today. Upper Middleburgh Cemetery, Middleburgh, Schoharie County, New York.
Wow. Thanks for sharing this. I'm having trouble making out the text on the headstones - did you happen to write it down?
that's awesome! Ditto what T.Wolf said!
Here too, this warrior sire, with honor rests.
Who braved in freedom's cause his valient breast
Sprang from his half-drawn furrow, as the cry
Of threaden'd liberty came thrilling by
Look'd to his God, and reared in bulwark round
Breast free from guile, and hands with toil embrown'd,
And bade a monarch's thousand banners yield -
Firm at the plough, and glorious in the field,
Lo! here he rests, who every danger braved,
Marked and honored, 'mid the soil he saved.
