Crombie Double Gravestone - Tombstone Tuesday

 This double gravestone is located at East Derry, New Hampshire in Forest Hill Cemetery.   It is near the First Settler's plot, right behind the First Parish Church.   There is a strange hole in the left side of the stone, almost as if a rope had worn it out over time by rubbing against it.
