This stone at Mount Moriah Cemetery & Arboretum is a cenotaph, "a monument to someone buried elsewhere...." We have identified 85 so far in the cemetery. She is actually buried in Elmwood Cemetery, Shepherdstown, Jefferson County, West Virginia, USA with her husband.

Happy #NationalIceCreamDay! 🍦 Today we honor Lewis Dubois Bassett, founder of Bassett's Ice Cream, resting here in Sec 204, Lot 5. He began making ice cream in 1861 and moved to Reading Terminal Market in 1892, where his family still runs the shop over 130 years later! tinyurl.com/tzbecdwy
