You are qualified to be a mortician if you can sit down with a client named Coffin and make no remark whatsoever on the name.
The Adams obelisk is one of the few monuments signed by the makers, Campbell & Horigan.
The Adams family plot is still surrounded by its circular stone fence. Groundskeepers hate these stone fences, but the South Side Cemetery has been less aggressive about removing them than most other cemeteries.
We have more pictures of the Coffin and Adams obelisks.
