Today we are off on our vacation to the Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, area. Posting will be constant, as I’ve set up posts in advance, but comment moderation will be slow. Please be patient! There will be lots of great new photos after I get back!

A Grave Concern: Sleeping children

I’ve written before about monuments for children that depict in stone figures of children asleep atop them in Not Dead but Asleep. I’ve found a few statues that are constructed to convey a similar symbolism in Lake View Cemetery. I can’t find a name or inscription on this one. It could be in the front where all the ivy is growing.
This child is sleeping with a lamb, another popular symbol for children.
