From An Old Philadelphia Land Title: Edmund’s tombstone is now built into the wall of the Friend’s Graveyard, at Darby. It was unearthed in about 1862, by John H. Andrews of Darby, while he was digging a grave in the burial ground. It had probably been sunk out of sight intentionally, because of its somewhat ornamental character, or because of the pertinacity with which Friends had insisted for many years, upon the removal of all grave stones, as a protest against the vainglory and extravagance of monuments of the dead. If such views were generally accepted, monuments to the dead might be restricted (or even prohibited by law in these days of prohibition) and vast sums, now held in trust for the preservation of cemeteries, could be released for better uses.
