On Life, Consciousness, Death, and The Afterlife

Disclaimer: I have stated that this cemetery is "very old", but it should also be stated that none of our cemeteries in the West are anywhere near as old as those in the eastern part of the county. In fact, the grave stone of the Reverend Ephraim Huit (1644), located at Palisado Cemetery in Windsor, Connecticut is recognized as the oldest original, legible, and dated headstone still standing in the US. -- which makes it more than 𝘵𝘸𝘰-𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳 than the oldest grave in this Portland cemetery.
