Mother July 1998 |
At first glance, this is an example of graveside kitsch. But this family comes out on holidays and her birthdays and leaves little presents. Above all, she is not forgotten. |
Angel July 1998 |
This is a nearby grave of the same family. At first I didn't see the angel at all. You kind of have to look for it. |
Georgie July 1998 |
Stones fall over, or get broken. This isn't a very graceful way to fix them. Sic transit gloria mundi. |
Rebellion July 1998 |
I think the most telling detail of this stone is that the American Civil War has been reduced to the "rebellion of 1861". Kind of gives you an idea about this family's perspective. |
