Cousin Peter Fingar uncovered an interesting piece of fact. It seems that it was popular, at least in Germantown, NY in the later 19th century and early 20th century to use old tombstones as walkways. Peter found one such tombstone being used as a walkway at an old farmer's house. As it turned out, it was the tombstone of Reuben Fingar, Sr. Peter had it reset in the Reformed Church Cemetery. (Body location unknown). - Lee J. Fingar
