    3. † IHS In memory of Sarah Elizabeth BYRNE daughter of https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7Mt-S77wZKfYWxheHotRHhCY3M/edit?usp=sharing As seen, a couple fragments matched. Mid-19th century stone? One fragment was near the front of the walk and the other at the back in a pile I hadn’t seen before alongside a rear porch so there’s maybe twenty-five or so total. Does she or do Elizabeth and Ann Drohan show up in the St. John’s interment records? A number of stones proved to be relatively wide footstones. Some are likely the lower half of headstones as they appear to have nothing on them. I’m guessing few will have any substantial info. A weird story of a headstone found in Schenectady that had evidently been discarded when the family got a new monument in Oakwood Cemetery, Troy: http://gravelyny.blogspot.com/2014/06/dread-dead-bed-spread-bread-instead.html Chris
