The thought that strikes me when I see headstones like these in a pioneer cemetery like Laurel Hill, is: Who were these people and who loved them enough to put a personal touch such as "Papa" or "Mama" or "Alice" on their headstone? And where are these people today? Buried under just such a forgotten stone? I believe the "Alice" marker belongs to the Havens family, and the "Papa" marker is in the McGill plot, but any older cemetery has markers that are no longer visited. 

Laurel Hill has a healthy percentage of cared-for graves, but it's to be hoped that someone will remember to put flowers on a marker like these below, whether they are a relative or not.
