JANUARY 18

Arcola Texas

Poor Frank Perkin. He is buried in the tiny Watts Cemetary in the middle of some woods.
It looks like aluminum theives have tried to dismantle his homemade headstone. I'm happy to see that the framework held.
I wonder about the story behind this stone. Someone went to the trouble of making a good solid marker for him.
The Cross with rays was a nice addition.

Our cemeteries are also trashed at times - so sad to see

I like Gary's comment; he's right! Frank has been to all places on the planet now! Cool! :)

You just "sent" Frank Perkin around the world. Good photograph of his final resting place.

Intriguing, I wonder what sad story lays behind this headstone. RIP Frank Perkins. Great photo. v

Someone loved him to make this for him. Probably didn't have the money to buy one so this one means so much more. I hope no one else disturbs it.
