How did those stones get like that, they almost look like grave stones.

 

[leo]

they are old grave stones, people used to carve their loved ones' initials in rocks and then paint them to make headstones.
they were coal miners from the days before organized labor, you would work 100 hours a week in the mines to be given script that was only good in their store.
at the end of the week you got a handful of food from the company store and a note saying how much you owe the company for working all week...

There used to be a similar thing, long since outlawed, in Britain, truck money it was called.
