Do you own an original Porter?

Our Sherry Chapman bought the perpetual care rights to Porter’s grave, which is apparently the first step in owning the site, so I think they know where it is in St. Patrick’s cemetery.

(Oh my, you reminded me of the days when Prof. Starrs made an effort to examine the Borden graves to tell if the skulls had been buried!)

Here’s the turf

And details…

This is the business contracted to do the work…they opened in 1892 according to Stef’s narrative on YouTube.

And the breakdown of the costs.
The narrative explains the GoFundMe site gets a little bit of each donation, and since there was probably going to be lots of smaller amounts (which thankfully add up quickly), the goal was a little higher than the basic costs listed, to pay that small percentage off to the FundMe site.

I am just learning the details as I search this project. :detective:
