Unlike most other cemetery statues, this figure is walking forward, perhaps hastening to bring her flowers to Mr. McVey’s grave.
-
McVey Monument, Calvary Cemetery
-
Boyle Monument, Allegheny Cemetery
An angel and a cross, similar in conception to the Porter monument, but very different in execution.
-
McClintock Monument, Allegheny Cemetery
This monument is not listed on the cemetery’s site, but it is probably a memorial to Jonas McClintock, a Pittsburgh mayor who died in 1879.
-
Eggers Column, Allegheny Cemetery
A simple and elegant Ionic column that holds up, for some reason, a ball. We do not know the date, and the cemetery site is sketchy about the Eggers family, of whom only Howard Eggers, an artist, has left any trace in publication.
-
Sallie Negley McMasters Monument, Allegheny Cemetery
A young bride who perhaps married beneath her, but then most families were beneath the Negleys. She was not yet twenty-three years old when she died in 1874. This monument in the Victorian Romantic style was executed in soft stone that has eroded considerably, which gives it a certain antique charm.
