Gravestone of Joseph Read. The photograph was taken in March 2003. In 1983, the stone was on the ground next to Sarah's stone (her stone was to the right). Since that time it has deteriorated and more of the stone has scaled off. The inscription included here was recorded in June 1983 (the 1983 photograph was too blurred to reproduce here). It was probably similar to Sarah's stone when it was first placed in the cemetery. Photograph Collection of Esther Doyle Read, March 2003.
