James Cullen Monument, Chartiers Cemetery

A small monument, but elaborate for its size, giving us an impression of good taste and quietly enjoyed wealth.

Moses Chess Monument, Chartiers Cemetery

This imposing monument is notable for its particularly fine uncial inscription at the top. Moses Chess has a separate headstone that gives 1895 as his date of death.
