Tombstone of Conrad S. Coon

Transcribed and Photographed July 3, 1986

Noticeable in the photograph is the partially obstructed age engraving. I have interpreted this as being "58Y 1M 11D". The "58Y" and the "11D" are legible. What is not clear is the month portion. I have determined this to be "1M" by looking at the "tops" of the partially obstructed characters. There are three "tops" showing. The second and third "tops" are accounted for in the "M" for month. The first "top" goes to a number and is too thin to be any number other than a "1". I have viewed this stone several times since the photograph was taken, and each time the I have come to the same conclusion.
