Visions Of Death: Cronquist

In keeping with my new-found determination to post this weekly segment, this week I'm putting up what is probably one of, if not the most recognizable monument in all of Logan City Cemetery...maybe even in all of Cache Valley. She belongs to Peter and Anna Cronqist. As with many such monuments, there are all sorts of folklore and legends surrounding her; people have claimed that she weeps (condensation is determined to be the agent of this phenomenon). I have heard that she is a hot ticket on Halloween and people seem to expect her to do some...thing. I did a little research (as always :-D ) and discovered that Peter and Anna (or Pehl and Annie as they appeared in the 1880 census) both came from Sweden. Peter was a plasterer and Anna was a housewife (you will notice that Anna was 18 years older than Peter...). And that's all the information I could find! But you know me...;-)

If anyone has any stories they would like to share, feel free to post them (here, please, not on Facebook. If you need a refresher on how to post then check out the FAQ).
