This white zinc tombstone marks the DeGraff family plot in the Palmyra Village Cemetery, north. Located on US-223, about 1/2 mile west of the village limit. This is the largest group of white zinc tombstone I have yet to locate. It consists of one large central piece that measures approximately 5 foot square at the base, 16 feet high and ten sections. There are fourteen other piece within the site. The main base is damaged, the result may be from the weight of the top portion or a result of someone climbing the tombstone.
