The Lindsay headstone as it once was, from an early sepia photograph in a Lindsay family photograph album (click on image to see photograph album page)
The Lindsay headstone as it now is, fallen and in four pieces.
This stone gives the impression of having being deliberately broken,
as if with a pickaxe, a strike point being distinctly visible
