Memorial Stones by the Roadside
Illustration★★Dr. Trumbull says, “On our drive from Hebron I was led to enquire the meaning of the little pillars of round stones found by the road side. Sometimes five stones or more often four are piled one on the other. They proved to be memorial stones.”
— Trumbull
