A fine angel, with rather butterfly-like wings spread, done in relief on a rustic boulder. The monument was installed in 1913 for Mr. John Upperman (his stone is in front), who was an undertaker, and apparently found it a profitable business. The doe is a temporary installation; her two companions were browsing nearby, but she had decided to rest in the shade for a while. Since she is a full-grown deer, she gives us a good idea of the scale of the monument.
Time and industry have not been kind to this angel, but in spite of her blunted features and precarious-looking angle she still points heavenward. No inscriptions are visible except the shield with “Mittenzwey” (so Father Pitt reads it) at the angel’s feet; there may well have been other inscriptions, but old Pa Pitt could not detect any remnants of them. The monument probably dates from the early 1880s; a John G. Mittenzwey was buried in 1883.
An exceptionally beautiful monument obscured by another John Munhall’s ostentatious Gothic tomb right in front of it. The angel brings a palm and wreath to the Munhalls’ Romanesque grotto carved out of a rustic boulder. This John Munhall is the man for whom the borough of Munhall is named.
A rustic boulder with an angel in high relief presides over matching rustic headstones. It probably dates from about 1899.
A statue, perhaps of a wingless recording angel (writing “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord”), tops a tastefully simple classical monument.
