July 1, 2016 Laurel Hill Cemetery behind St. Mark's





Took a walk down to Laurel Hill Cemetary  behind St. Mark's today and noticed this headstone with a backwards and upside down engraving of a quote from Juilius Caesar by Shakespear. I flipped it 
around. Why was it put it on the tombstone backwards as well as upside down? Was it simply a mistake too costly to correct?

"Brutus, you were wrong, it is the good things that live after death..."





This is the entrance of Laurel Hill. There's a barely-there path that goes into it. There are some tombstones that are broken and at least one very old tombstone in the back that is lying on the ground.

Eilenberger home on Eilenberger Road in Minisink Hills, PA

On one of my evening walks I saw the door to this house open so I guessed where the walkway was (it's all grown over and the driveway is not visible anymore) and walked up to the house. It was obviouse no one had lived there for a while. I could see all kinds of personal things like old photos from the doorway. It was a very sad sight because from what I could see from the front door someone had ransacked the house. I found out the home had belonged to Willard and Dr. Ofelia Eilenberger. Willard died in 2004. Ofelia became very ill in her old age and moved out to live with her daughter in Virginia in the summer of 2007. She died in 2010.
