Thank you for the interesting item. It's too bad the old stones were replaced by flat
headstones. One can see from the newspaper article that those "new" stones are
already sinking and on their way to being buried.

Some old headstones, oldest 1881, from the Apostolic Christian Church's old cemetery
were recently discovered in Bluffton. See link below for full story.
Headstones were replaced at the cemetery due to aging in the 1950's and these are
the originals. Found in someone's backyard, the owner is apparently allowing family
members to claim them. Two have been claimed already, although it does not mention which
two.
