From Liverpool Cemetery, Liverpool, NY:
The neatest find from this one, and I happened to park my car right beside it! A fair-sized obelisk, some nice, if basic, drapery/garland/urn motifs...
But on one side, it presents a deceased child-- and actually includes a cause of death! In this case, he "drowned in the canal."

Sit back
From Oakland Cemetery, Atlanta, GA:
An otherwise uninteresting mausoleum made nifty by the statue of a dapper gentleman, lightly holding a top hat, no less, perched over the entrance.

A reformed man
From Southern Onondaga Cemetery:
An interesting epitaph...I'm curious about how he was reformed, and whether he actually converted/reaffirmed himself to his faith, or if it's just symbolic language.

He died a reformed man,
a true christian, and is gone
to share with the
blest.
