101 Ways, Part 40: Second Birth

Here I go again, breaking my own rules. These gravestones are way outside of my original chronological constraints. The only defense I can offer is that they are from the South Burying Ground in Billerica, where almost all of the stones are from the colonial era.

I wonder if there are any modern Christian gravestones that record three births: a physical birth, a spiritual birth, and an immortal birth.
