Description
This image is of a headstone at the Onondaga Holy Trinity Anglican Church Cemetery on Johnson Street for both Martha and Joseph Bennett.

Martha, on the left side of the headstone was Joseph's wife and she died in 1875, possibly on June 29th. It is unclear how old she was.

Joseph, on the right, is harder to read. He died in August, but the day and year are obscured and faded. He was 82 when he died. There is another headstone for Joseph located nearby.
Notes
This is the remains of the cemetery. The church was destroyed in the late 1930's and the stones were put in the back corners of the area that was the cemetery.
