The Curious Case of Sarah Thomas' Tombstone

 All that is recorded about Sarah Thomas is her date of death and her age at that time. These details were only preserved due to an inscription on her headstone, which reads: “SARAH A.THOMAS D. JUN 29 /54 AG. 22.” Fortunately, the curious narrative of the grave markers associated with Sarah Thomas found resolution when Randy Wise, the curator at the Lander Pioneer Museum, unearthed the original headstone from storage. Upon examination, it was confirmed that the inscriptions on the replica markers were an exact match to those on the original grave marker, which was inscribed and placed over Sarah Thomas's grave on June 29, 1854.

  1. That was interesting. Maybe they should try to get a DNA sample and see if the family can be found. How did they know how far they had traveled in a day?

  2. A unique perspective on Tucker's interview (backed up with all the necessary sources). I mean, there really is nowhere else to meet it, backed up by the necessary factual justification. In case you are interested in more details, scroll down and review the next comments of the same person. This, for example. And I argue that this is exactly the actual reason for the interview (review, open the links and review more if you wish).

    Explanatory context, concerning the above.
