Kilgore Grave Marker at Mt Pleasant Cemetery
Description
This Is Another Great Example Of The Natural World Motif That Drove The Design Of Grave Markers And Headstones In The Early 20Th Century. At That Time, Cemeteries Were Considered A Formal Kind Of Community Park And Grave Markers And Monuments Were Meant To Beautify The Cemetery As Much As Be A Statement About The People They Commemorated. The Usual Iconography Of Things Like Plants, Trees, An Open Book Symbolizing The Summer Of A Life Are Present Here.
