Details, Ruth Buckman's gravestone
She was one of many Lexington women who could see and hear the battle from their homes.
As you look at her tombstone, can you make out a somber message for visitors?
Behold all you that passeth by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for Death and follow me.
