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.

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.
