Beauty

We visited an old cemetery while in Kentucky. There are lots of interesting stories surrounding these monuments. 
The monument below belongs to the Slayden family, I believe. She was, at one point, holding a bunch of grapes. It was said that once all the grapes fell, the world would end. As far as I could tell, they have all fallen. And we're still here! 


I can't remember the name of this family. Woolridge, I think. They have statues for every family member. During the ice storm last year, a tree fell on this site. Volunteers gathered the pieces and stored them in the basement of city hall. They have begun the process of repairing all of them. They even have statues of their pets here with them. I guess that means they are buried here as well?



This was just a pretty monument Sophie took a photo of. 

I'd love to spend more time here at some point. I think it would be interesting to research some of the families as well.
