I did a brief search and found that there were numerous other siblings that mostly stayed in Colorado. Photographs listed of the siblings were a beautiful find. I don’t share photographs from other sites, so you will have to do your research yourself on that note!

This cemetery has several graves from this era. I find that I am mostly drawn to white, whether it be marble or other stones. These are so intricately carved and beautiful. Obelisk styles always catch my eye as well. So needless to say white and obelisk are among my favorites to find. 

As always, I pray that this family is at peace. What a beautiful resting place they have in this cemetery. One of my favorite cemeteries to visit. 

*Disclaimer – I’m not a historian, scholar or writer. I aim to honor and remember all the souls and landmarks I encounter in my explorations. Sharing these helps to keep their memory from fading away. I do my best to find information and I’m always open to edits and corrections when needed. I would never post anything incorrectly with harmful intent. Cemeteries are full of stories, sometimes I can find them, sometimes I can’t.

Be respectful if visiting any of the places I share. These places won’t be around forever, especially if not treated with the utmost in respect. Other than picking up obvious trash, we do not alter any of the gravesites we visit. Please keep in mind that some trinkets are left as honor, not disrespect.
