A flower-strewing angel steps forward from a rustic boulder. The first Weber was buried in this plot in 1887, and that may be about the date of this monument.

Weber Angel, Homewood Cemetery

Johann Foell Monument, Birmingham Cemetery
A very ornate, perhaps even confused, German romantic monument. The date of death is hard to read; Father Pitt reads it as 1882, but might read it as 1872 in a different light.

Frackowiak-Wawrzyniak Monument, St. Adalbert’s Cemetery
A very busy Gothic design with a praying angel in an alcove and a crucifix on top. Nevertheless, though Father Pitt cannot justify it intellectually, it is still his feeling that the form of the monument is pleasingly balanced.

King Monument, Allegheny Cemetery
KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA Probably a stock design, but a pleasingly artistic one, representing a half-finished Romanesque arch carved out of a rustic boulder. The effect is appropriately romantic, as if the sculptor himself had been interrupted by death in the middle of creating his masterpiece.

Hipple Angel, Homewood Cemetery
An angel in high relief stands before a rustic boulder and drops lily flowers on the Hipples’ graves. The earliest burial in this plot seems to be Marion F. Hipple, who died in 1899, and that is a good guess at the date of this angel.
