#TombTuesday
This is the memorial for John Bausch and Henry Lomb in Mt. Hope Cemetery , Rochester New York. Their actual graves are under the snow in the foreground.
These gentlemen were the founders of Bausch & Lomb best known for early eye glasses and lens work, Ray Ban sunglasses and contact lens among many other things.
Started in my home town in late 1850's. B&L , Kodak & Xerox were huge employers in the 1960's and 70's.
#RIP #Cemetaries
Should add that they were German immigrants.
