Lancaster Cemetery, 205 E. Lemon Street, Lancaster PA (near entrance)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Not far from the obelisk that marks the resting place of Civil War General John Fulton Reynolds lie the graves of Jonathan Foltz (1778-1854) and his renown son, Jonathan Messersmith Foltz (1810-1877). \u00a0The latter, among other achievements, was Surgeon General of the U.S. Navy (3rd photo). \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The father’s remarkable tombstone was crafted into the shape, texture and hue of a tree stump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bAccording to\u00a0The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0(November 12, 1880), the tombstone “is of a particular color of stone, representing the trunk of an immense oak, and is so natural in color and design as to deceive persons at first glance into the belief that it is really the stump of a tree. \u00a0Here, father and son — the one honored and loved in the narrow circle in which<\/p>\n\n\n\n

he moved, the other distinguished in his country’s service — lie side by side.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bIn the words of blogger Linda Stienstra, the headstone is “massive, beautiful, and has stood the test of time.” \u00a0The stump measures 4 feet high with a circumference of 10.5 feet. \u00a0[First photo by Stienstra.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
