  That's Samuel A. Blunden's grave. Not Simon O Blunden's grave. Your either can't read or you have no research talent.

  You're the one who can`t find a Picture of Simon O.Blunden.

  I`m recovering from major Eye Surgery, I`m friggin half blind right now.

  I think most people would give me a pass, for not getting the middle initial right.
  

  Even with really bad eyesight, I got closer than you did.....LOL!!

  Didn't get the first name right either, but I am sympathetic over your eyes. I had cataract surgery at an early age. It's miserable.

  Got closer than I did? I found his real grave on find-a-grave. I have a large file of material on his life and a decent biography of him. YOU found SAMUEL and who knows who THAT is .... Good job.

  Are the surgeries helping? My vision is still impaired in my left eye. You may be full of cr*p but I am sorry you're going through eye-health problems.

  I find him mentioned in:

  Harvest Siftings II

  Olin R. Moyle's appeal case against Watchtower et al

  Trow's New York City Directory vol. XCIV. for the year ending May 1, 1881 he is listed

  Blunden Simon O. clerk, h 443 E. 80th

  Same listing for the New York Public Library color scan (better quality).

  He wrote in to a news paper to publish a challenge:

  •

  • The evening world. (New York, N.Y.), 14 Aug. 1894. Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. Lib. of Congress. <http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030193/1894-08-14/ed-3/seq-4/>

  He then bumped up the challenge prize from $50 to $100!

  The Insurance Press No. 1,062 - Vol. XLII New York, Wednesday, January 12, 1916 pg 15 under New Jersey lists the payout from his life insurance policy at the time of his death.

  Are the surgeries helping?

  1st one was a failure.

  2nd one worked but I needed a 3rd to remove the oil that kept the retina stable.

  It`s all done while you`re awake, it`s painful, unpleasant and freaky.

  Stitches in the eyeball, Laser cauterizing/burning.
  

  The oil created a cataract, it`s like a thick oil slick.

  If my retina Dr. likes the way my eye healed, I`ll be referred to a cataract Dr.

  All that for a Thump on the Head.

  Makes me wonder if I`m one of those people who should wear a helmet 24/7...LOL!!
