Additional Comments:
This is the stone of Green Berry LANEY, husband of Minerva J. MILLER LANEY.
This is a massive heavy stone, anchored deep in the ground, and shows deep 
engraving with much detailed decoration and elaborate scrollwork. Behind the 
stone a large dense bush is growing that has pushed the stone progressively 
forward. At the time this was taken, the stone was at about a 45 degree angle. 
Attempts to right the stone were fruitless. This picture was taken by lying on 
the ground. The actual stone is very light in color. The colors of the stone 
have been accentuated in this photograph to make the inscription readable. 
Later cemetery surveys have reported that this stone has now been pushed too 
far over to be read.
