Be sure to check and see if the FindAGrave site has additional photos not shown on the home page, which has a limit of three. My second photo clearly gives you an idea where this stone is.
Solomon Glezen (also spelled Gleason)
Born: March 14, 1734, Worcester, Worcester Co., Massachusetts
Died: August 10, 1810, Lenox, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts
and his wife
Lydia Whittelsey
Born: September 10, 1739, Wethersfield, Hartford Co., Massachusetts
Died: September 6, 1810, Lenox, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts
They are my 5th great-grandparents.
They died within a month of each other and are buried, along with their son, Amasa Glezen, who died in 1808.

Barbara,
Very good point, about the three pictures above. One where you can read the stone, one a step or two back, to put the stone in context, and one for the cemetery itself.
I do try to do that for Find-A-Grave, then, if I can, re-order the pictures in that sequence.
I'll add a hint that has worked for me. If I have a Request, I will research the Surname AND the Birth Surname for a female. I try to print any other of those other stones so that I can see where the requested stone might be.
It's nice when the "owner" of the memorial / individual page, shows or has links to relationships.
Thank you,
Russ
ps - see you in August
Thanks Russ for your comment, and your hint. We need all the hints we can get. Also, I'm looking forward in meeting you.
Great tips, Barb, and also from Russ! The "context" shots are great so you can see just where the stone is located - or at least help others find it easier.
If no stone exists, I've also been adding that information to the FindAGrave memorials that I manage. And it seems like a LOT of my kin had no stone.
