Its interesting how the gravestone excavation is proceeding here at Mount Moriah Cemetery in Philadelphia/Yeadon, PA. The Friends of Mount Moriah Cemetery, Inc., in their attempts to locate grave stones for plotholders and descendants, realized that many of the apparent missing stones are actually buried! For the past century, stones have fallen and been buried during ground subsidence, soil erosion, layers of fallen leaves, etc. Stones are sometimes found with a steel poker driven into the ground. In this place of over 80,000 graves, the chances of hitting stone are quite good.
