A lovely stone in the town cemetery
East of Miami, Texas

Note: This is a "bump" from June '08, but I put in a different photo from a different angle.
I didn't notice it until I got home and downloaded the photos to my computer but the background reflection of the bluffs on the other side of Red Deer Creek seem to blend into the scene on the stone.

That's lovely. I should share a shot of my Uncle Richard's stone. It's in the same style, black polished stone with an etched image. His stone has a picture of him on his boat oystering on the bay.
Send it to me; I'd love to see it. I've got quite a few more to post.
There are a lot of graves in the older cemeteries around here that are from the influenza epidemic just around WWI and after, guess it was.
I'll take a shot of Richard's next time I tend the flowers.
There are about 3 "public" cemetaries in my home town, some with stones quite old. The oldest stones are in the scattered "family plots" I did notice a cluster of deaths, many of them kids and babies, that must have coincided with the influenza epidemic in the winter of 1918. My Gram always refered to that as "the Spanish Flu"
I will try to get a shot of that stone to ya soon.
