"The Lost Stones of Irving." 17 Gravestones, No Owners...
He's a man with a bit of a mystery on his hands--17 long-lost gravestones, dating back to the 1800's. Their new owner isn't sure why the stones never ended up in a cemetery, but he's hoping to help them get there.

Someone told me that some stones were made as demonstrations for those ordering them. Another explanation is that sometimes people buried their relatives on their homestead or farm where they lived. Could that possibly have been a private cemetary? Another possibility is that the stones may have had an error on them and another was ordered.
