We do NOT have stones like this in Iowa -- at least rural Iowa.<BR/><BR/>It was a bit of an emotional journey through the graveyard, especially through "In the Arms of the Angels". Stunning monuments!

My gr-gr grandfather was at Vicksburg during the war and was paroled from there. We have intended to go and now I shall add this cemetery to our list.

My grandpa (Papa) would have loved visiting this one and he may have. He would go to a cemetery everywhere he traveled. I don't think it's odd at all.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing this with us.<BR/>rueRuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18127064683340688898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-56029641528040610362008-07-07T16:54:00.000-05:002008-07-07T16:54:00.000-05:00Janie, I'm new to your blog but have enjoyed it e...Janie, I'm new to your blog but have enjoyed it ever so much. And then to my delight, you posted the most wonderful pictures from Cedar Hill Cemetery. I sell monuments for a living. As I tell my friends and family, "someone has to do it". I love my job, it's so rewarding to help people pay tribute to their loved ones. My husband and I tour cemeteries around the country. I gain such inspiration and purpose for my profession. Thank you for taking me to a cemetery that I didn't know about. I must put it on my list to visit & you are absolutely right, very few people could afford these spectacular creations you have shared with us. Thank you.

These monuments are beautiful beyond words! My husband and I like to browse old cemetaries and read the epitaphs.. strange past-time I'm sure, but the words, along with the monuments are amazing.
