Little Rachel's gravestone, embraced by a tree
The center gravestone—around which the tree has grown—belongs to Rachel Randle who was 10 years old when she died in the 1820s (the last numeral is unreadable).
I believe the stone on the left is her mother's, from what I can see of the words that remain. She died in 1822.
The stone on the right is showing its back side. Although it would've been easy enough to turn it around and look at the inscription, I felt I shouldn't disturb what I had found.
Note: You can see a closer view of the gravestone in the tree in my next post.
