...even without a context or knowing you personally, your images remind me to say a prayer for the recently deceased in my life. Thank you for sharing.
A pair of expired parking meters adorn Archie Arnold's tombstone at the Scipio Cemetery in rural Allen County's Scipio Township.
Mr. Arnold, who was born in 1920, and died in 1982, certainly had a sense of humor! He was dying from liver disease when he damaged two parking meters in a traffic accident. After paying to replace them, he asked to keep the damaged ones, which he repainted and kept for his grave.
He wrote them into his will, requiring his family to mount the expired parking meters on his headstone! The back of the tombstone, shown in my photograph, has a quote engraved upon it:
"Fear the Lord and tell the people what you want."
