The #tomb of John Richard Norris (1859-1932) in #Fairview #cemetery in #culpeper #Virginia. The photos were taken by me on July 8, 2023. The #plaque gives a brief #genealogy of the #gentleman. Unfortunately, though, it appears that I accidentally cut off a few words of the plaque. #geneadons #TombTuesday

This past #weekend we were in northern #Virginia and took a side trip to #Fairview #cemetery in #Culpeper to visit my aunt’s #grave. We never located it, but I took the opportunity to #photograph some interesting #headstones. This one is #civilwar era. Fairview is on the #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces. #TombTuesday

My very old and well-thumbed copy of Culpeper’s Complete Herbal. Good to know that Bilberries will ‘stay the vomitings and loathings’

#January 10, 1654
#OTD Nicholas #Culpeper, English #Botanist, #Herbalist, #Physician, & #Astrologer, died.
A radical thinker, his Complete #Herbal revealed medicinal secrets to the masses & was still used in #JaneAusten's time a century later. He didn't want to charge the poor & he examined his patients for free.
Nicholas used #Melancholy #Thistle (Cirsium heterophyllum) for depression:
"[Added to] #Wine, it expels superfluous melancholy out of the body, & makes a man as #Merry as a cricket."
