In reference to the saying on Robert Gettys tombstone- my great great grandmother Margaret Schneider ( York County PA)had the same verse on her tombstone. Very interesting and informative.

His relative also has a oil painting the Col did of Gen Meade in the year 1900. For a 121 year old painting, its in immaculate condition.

    I think you may have captured an EVP at the 47:35 mark. I listened to it several times thinking it could be a faint scraping sound but no it really sounds like a young girl whispering a word like "Fanny" or "Daddy" (??).
