The article discusses the condition of sandstone headstones at the graveyard of the St. Paul's churchyard, which show ravages of time. It points out that former U.S. President George Washington visited this noble church when he was the president. It is concerned about many of those sandstone headstones in this churchyard that are falling apart. Many of them are also illegible. It questions the indifference of the rich Trinity Corp. towards these graves, which only last summer spent many thousands of dollars in restoring exquisitely and authentically the church.
