Poor Frederick L. North. He lived from 1858 to 1911 and since he passed, a cedar tree has grown large over the decades and one of its trunks is slowly devouring Frederick's gravestone. If the cedar trunk doesn't eventually swallow it up whole, its roots have already consumed his body, bones and all.
