Grave marker for Jeannette H. Bongerbeam at Edge Hill Cemetery in Charles Town, West Virginia. This marker struck me as sad, because this was clearly a temporary grave marker placed by the funeral home at the time of burial, intended to be replaced by a more permanent marker at a later date, but for whatever reason, nine years later, it had still not been replaced, and at this point, I imagine that it probably never will be.
