Desire Tripp's Amputated Arm

I know I've posted this one before, but I was piggybacking off of Prof. Emlen's photos. Now that I have my own, it's time for a repeat.
I won't say that this is the strangest gravestone in New England because the weirdness of New England is endlessly baffling. Nevertheless, I'm willing to give it top-10 status.
