When Suzanne Dalton went out to walk her her dog in Bethel Cemetery, a cemetery located in the Wilkes Street Cemetery Complex in Old Town, one fall afternoon, the last thing she expected was to have a literal brush with death.
After a headstone fell on her arm and pinned her to the ground, Charles Nelson, an 89-year-old Alexandria resident, came to her assistance and lifted the 500-pound stone up just enough for her to escape. The incident was remarkable and memorable in its own right, but it also sparked a friendship between two strangers who met under the unlikeliest of circumstances.
