Thaddeus Stevens' tomb, Shreiner's Cemetery. Stevens epitaph: I repose in this quiet and secluded spot, not from any natural preference for solitude, but finding other cemteries limited as to race, I have chosen this as my last resting place, that I might illustrate in my death the pricnicples I advocated through a long life, "The equality of man before his Creator."
