DAVIDSONVILLE, Md. (AP) Bridget Blake walked through the historic cemetery behind All Hallows Episcopal Chapel in Davidsonville and cried. She didn’t grieve for the loss of a loved one but for the destruction to over 160 gravestones sloppily scrubbed clean by unknown people.
Marble used for gravestones that date back to the 18th and 19th century is sensitive and easily disintegrates. The stone must be gently washed with special soap and water. But this month two people were spotted behind the Episcopal chapel brushing headstones with unknown chemicals. Gravestones at the Methodist church down the street were also marred by the unwelcome wash.
