Today I was still working on the Cox family headstones with the team from the city, but I only learned at the very end the name of the person whose tombstone we were restoring.

Not only that, but the city team was really willing to learn more about gravestone work and I was delighted to take them through this “Headstone conservation 101” express class 👨‍🏫 with direct practical application ⚒️🪦
