Walker Monument, Homewood Cemetery

Miller Monument, Homewood Cemetery
A slim and elegant Art Deco stele with a lily-bearing angel, this monument is a bit of a puzzle. The style is of the 1930s or thereabouts, but the two people commemorated both died in the 1860s, before the Homewood Cemetery existed. One can only presume that their descendants made a pile of money and decided to remember them properly.

Vallowe Monument, South Side Cemetery
A recording angel sits on a tall shaft, writing in the Book of Life. The dates are in English, but the base of the monument bears an inscription from the Luther Bible: “Sondern wir glauben, durch die Gnade des Herrn Jesu Christi selig zu werden” (“But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved,” Acts 15:11).

A fine Corinthian temple most remarkable for its bronze doors, a pair of angels bringing a message of peace.

John Daub Monument, Homewood Cemetery
Father Pitt does not know the sculptor of this exceptionally fine angel, probably Gabriel waiting for the Conductor’s signal to come in with his trumpet solo. But thanks to a site in Rhode Island, he does know that the memorial was built from blue Westerly granite; that it was ordered in March of 1902, several months before Mr. Daub died; and that the cost was $8000, which was a fair bit of money.
