Tombstone Tuesday The Other Side of the Pathway

As you notice, I have a street sign on my side board.  Langley/Ellsworth.  I tend to write more on my husband's side of the path than mine. This is the grave marker of my great grandfather.  His name was Benedict, but he always went by BD or Benny Dick.  Must have been the association with Benedict Arnold that he didn't like.  What ever he just never used his proper name.  His life was interesting and I have been finding out more about the customs around him and his times.
