The power of electricity is immense and the tragic event that killed Albert E Boyd, who lost his life in such a manner, serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of electricity and the importance of safety measures. The headstone that marks his final resting place not only pays tribute to his life.
Historic cemeteries are important for many of reasons. They are a tangible link to the past, providing insight into our ancestors' lives, customs, and beliefs. They also serve as a reminder of the sacrifices and struggles that previous generations endured, and can inspire us to appreciate and preserve our cultural heritage. Additionally, historic cemeteries often contain significant artistic and architectural elements, such as beautiful monuments and sculptures, that are unique and irreplaceable. Finally, historic cemeteries provide a sense of continuity and connection with those who came before us, and help us to understand our place in the ongoing story of human civilization. For these reasons, it is important to conserve and maintain historic cemeteries, so that future generations can continue to appreciate and learn from them, revealing stories that are not found in textbooks.

Electricity in homes used to be so much more dangerous around the time Albert Boyd lived. We must bear witness and appreciate his sacrifice so that we can live in the world we live in today with its incredible safety and convenience.

There is a great sense of satisfaction seeing you return this monument to its proper position in such a simple but effective way. The sweat-drenched shirt shows that appearances are deceiving. Nice work!

I'm new. I have been doing my family's history for over 50 years. I so appreciate what you are doing. My gathering of material began with physically hunting down graveyards and finding stones. Now I can go online and click a button and find so much. I have all the photos I took of gravestones over the years. You are a good man. Thank you.

Such a simple fix that I'm sure his family will appreciate. What a sad end. I have a few work-related accidental deaths on my family tree. It's heartbreaking to read the news articles and obituaries.

Great fix! What a sad story :(

Thank you for your concern and care of these monuments. Seeing all the different stones used and the aging processes that happen I can’t help but wonder what some of these newer memorials of polished granite with deer and other items etched in the stones will look like in a few years. They just seem so over the top compared to the graceful classic designs. Just my 2 cents. You have me wondering what type of stone/carvings I want on mine ❤
