It's a bit startling at first glance, but this large double trunk locust tree has grown around this headstone so that only the top portion is still visible. The tip of upper right quadrant of the letter O and the letters T, H, E can be distinguished. No part of the letters M and R that once spelled out MOTHER are visible.
