EUNICE TEMPLE – FINDAGRAVE

This is a rare example of a gravestone set never being moved at all. For post-1776 burials, the headstone should point directly to the west and the footstone should face directly to the east. Eunice Temple’s stones both face outward from the burial. Her body is on the correct east – west axis.
