A typical marble obelisk of the Civil War era. The inscriptions are eroded into near illegibility, but one legible death date is 1840. Since the cemetery is not that old, the monument was probably put up in the 1860s, and previously deceased family members were honored on it then.
Old Pa Pitt always wonders how much snickering there was at the monument dealer’s when this order came in. This is a typical Victorian obelisk with the dangerous pointy end heavily shrouded. Behind it is the even taller Adams obelisk.
