  • John Subic Tombstone, St. Anne Parish Cemetery

    John Subic tombstone

    Another example of a typical Slavic tombstone with inscriptions in two languages—again, we suspect that “OUR SON” came with the stone, and the inscription in Slovenian was supplied to order. The cross was not originally blank: if we look very carefully, we can trace the faint outlines of a crucifix in shallow relief that has eroded almost completely away.

  • Jernej Malli Tombstone, St. Anne Parish Cemetery

    Jernej Malli tombstone

    The cross has gone missing from this typical Slavic tombstone. The inscription is partly Slovenian and partly English; we suspect that “OUR FATHER” came with the stone, and the rest of the inscription was made to order.
