    I would like to make a suggestion, when you are showing the gravestones etc could you linger a little longer on the persons name as find a grave often has so much information on them and their families, a rabbit hole which I often fine I have gone down. Thank you for doing this.

    The lady with the mop…Rebecca Sire was one of the oldest residents of St. Louis when she passed. She was President of the southern relief fair which raised over 140,000$ to be distributed to impoverished families in the south affected by the war.

    The type of grave with all the red flowers is a "cradle grave" - typically used for infants or stillbirths, so it's very kind to see that it is being maintained all these years later 💗

    The grave you state is " is a lady with a mop " it's not a mop . She is holding a torch with a flame still burning even though it has fallen . Since Rebecca Sire raised money for families in the South after the civil war , I think torch still burning , even though it has fallen is representative of the south . They may have lost the war , but their spirit still is alive , I.e. the flame .

One torch points down indicating Death, and the other upright, signifying Rebirth. The classical revival brought many of these symbols back into use, particularly those relating to death.

    Active Wickenburg resident Brad Blossom died Friday June 14 at Wickenburg Community Hospital of Cancer.
    Blossom, 62, was born and educated in St. Louis and graduated from Amhurst College in 1934.
    He worked as an investment broker in the 1930's and founded Master Plastic Corporation which furnished parts for the aircraft industry in the 40's.
    He sold his interest in 1952 and the following year married Eleanor Barrows Waterbury. He moved her and her family to St. Louis where he operated an insurance agency until 1960.
    He was a winter visitor to Wickenburg since 1953 until 1960 when he established a home here. He was active in several small businesses and in 1967 he was a founder of Hydroculture, Inc., a pioneer firm in hydroponic growing. He served as Vice-President and Director of that Company until his death.
    He is survived by his mother and brother in St. Louis, his wife and two adopted children and five grandchildren.

      If you get to go to London -- they have a cemetery that also has weird opened little type row of very small long buildings like sperated openings that once held coffens in them at one time, it was made of concrete.
      Accupple of ladies got pushed & scratched while inside, I think because they disrespected the legend that was told -- . This was in 1970.
      I had gotten a picture of the lady that had jumped in pain while in there & it was a black shaddow thing-- that pic is long lost to time.

    In Bellefontaine and Calvary's old embrace,
    Where time has left its weathered trace,
    There lies a realm of ancient grace,
    Where strange and eerie headstones pace.
    Among the shadows, tombs arise,
    Their secrets hidden 'neath dark skies,
    With marble faces and silent cries,
    They stand as sentinels, ancient and wise.
    Creepy and beautiful, their forms entwine,
    Inscribed with tales from a bygone time,
    Markers of souls now lost to rhyme,
    Yet their presence lingers, a spectral chime.
    Beneath the moon's ethereal glow,
    Whispers of the past gently flow,
    As grave robbers once dared to sow,
    Their greed in soil where spirits grow.
    But among the moss and ivy's vine,
    A sense of peace begins to shine,
    For though the living may decline,
    These old graves hold stories divine.
    So wander with us through the night,
    Where tombstones gleam in eerie light,
    In Bellefontaine and Calvary's sight,
    Where old cemetery graves ignite.

    The weepiing angels are stunning! I don't think I've ever seen those before. I wish the cemetary would restore and keep the monuments up, but I expect that cost falls to the famiily and not everyone there has family that want to pay to restore an old grave of some relatives they never knew. Such a shame - they deserve to be preserved.
