Hard Times
St Mary's Church graveyard, Capel-le-Ferne, Kent.
It's hard enough dying at age 40 after a long and painful illness, but imagine how that would have been in 1877.
The three Gilbert boys were aged 21, 12, and 19.
From Frederick's stone:
"Here locked in peace, our darling rest beneath
An early Victim to the rage of Death
A Fathers hope a Mothers tender care
Blighted by one rude blast is buried here."
I will moan once again about the loss of resolution when uploading to Flickr. A lot of detail has been lost from these stones.
