I'm trying to get a photograph.

The Granary in Boston is another good one, as is the one in Salem. There are many good books out there for researching the symbolism of the headstones. My husband and I spent our honeymoon going through cemetaries in Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hamsphire, Connecticut and Maine! It's fascinating to put families together, and notice the dates...when entire families died, probably from some flu or illness. Also fascinating to see husbands buried next to first and second wives.

We don't have anything that old here in Chicago. Looks like you had a beautiful fall day. I’ve always loved the old winged skull gravestones! We don’t have anything that old here in Chicago.
