The record — long form
Gibson's grave is the lone — the 'roadside' that's the plot's place, the '1827' that's the death's year. The 'hat seller' is the told — the 'traveling' that's the trade's kind, the 'North Carolina' that's the home's far. The 'versions split' is the guessed — the 'disease duel' that's the death's range, the 'money buried' that's the legend's add.
The 'oldest marked' is the claimed — the 'county's first' that's the stone's rank, the 'broken slab' that's the marker's state. The 'road moved' is the survived — the 'US-11' that's the highway's name, the 'stagecoach' that's the path's first. Gibson's is the unquiet — the 'sentinel' that's the stone's pose, the 'mystery' that's the man's keep.
