I think it was just placed like that as a memorial. It didn't look very old. Had no dates or anything. There was nothing on the other side, either. I can't decide what it's supposed to represent. Can you? Maybe a baby grand? Or a curvy lady?
I agree with you, Judith. I think it was placed like that as a memorial because the writing is so close to the top of the stone. If it were a headstone the writing would be a bit lower, wouldn't it? . . . and also since it's in a "Historical Cemetery" perhaps it's replacing one that is missing or destroyed?
Everyone calls me Judy. I live in the metroplex of Fort Worth/Dallas in the suburb of North Richland Hills with my husband of 45 years.
I have a great interest in genealogy research and love to share the excitement of a newly found tidbit of information on my family's history. It excites me also to help others find that missing piece linking them to someone they knew of, but didn't know!
As the appointed Historian of the Mineral Wells High School 50 Year Club, I have a treasure trove of historical documents and memorabilia to occupy my time and my curiosity.
Come with me on a journey as we blog about the restoration of the historical complex that includes the old high school, amphitheater, Rock School house, and Home Economics Building on the new blog, "Mountaineer Heritage Park Blog".
What a picture! Is it sunk waaay down or is it sideways? It looks pretty with the leaves sprinkled around.

ReplyDeleteVery curious! Maybe they did it that way just to make people wonder...

ReplyDeleteThat's my guess, Linda.
