With all the broken bottles around the Tompkins’ plot, their headstones were clearly one of the favorite targets for the purpose of breaking bottles and destroying their family’s ability to visit the grave and remember them.

While these markers may not ever be pieced together enough to be vertical again, we hope they can be assembled to a recognizable form that can be placed in the plot respectably.
