A typical zinc monument, as usual still almost as fresh as when it was installed—except that one panel is missing on one side, leaving the hollow interior open.

Wise Monument, St. Clair Cemetery
-
Stewart Monument, Chartiers Cemetery
A typical zinc monument in most respects, except that it bears no inscriptions other than the name “STEWART” on the base. Instead, the various Stewarts have individual stone markers. Since one of the attractions of a zinc monument was that it could bear a number of inscriptions, thus saving the expense of individual markers, we suspect that there may have been a Stewart family argument over the Stewart family plot.
-
Grimm Monument, Chartiers Cemetery
A fine zinc monument with only one panel inscribed, for Caroline Grimm. She died in middle age; perhaps her husband remarried and is buried elsewhere. As is usually the case with zinc monuments, it looks almost as fresh as the day it was erected.
-
Alice J. Shaffer Monument, Chartiers Cemetery
A fairly modest but ornate zinc monument for a mother who died in her thirties.
-
Sarah Batten Monument, South Side Cemetery
As usual with zinc monuments, this one is nearly as fresh as the day it was put up. There are identical inscribed panels on both sides.
