Below are three photographs of the William Lawhead gravestone at the Dean Cemetery in Buckskin Township, Ross County, Ohio taken at different times.
The top photograph is how the gravestone looks today after being repaired by Scott Andersen using Lithomex to mend the cracked area running horizontally along close to the bottom of the gravestone (that is evident in the middle photograph.)
The next photograph below was taken in February of 2014 when there was snow on the ground, and the bottom photograph was taken in August, 2009 while the gravestone was still lying half-buried and mostly covered over in weeds.
The Dean Cemetery is being transformed one gravestone at a time. Its once neglected landscape now being returned to respectability -- to the pleasant, peaceful place of rest it was meant to be.

Thanking Scott Andersen for sharing his gravestone photographs. The ongoing improvements show remarkable progress in all aspects.
