Visions Of Death: Hendricks
Last week I was catching up on some Find A Grave work and I came across a headstone that made me think I should start a new, weekly post. This spot will feature interesting or unique headstone/grave markers that I come across in my volunteer work with Find A Grave. But, since I can't guarantee that I will personally find enough to fulfill my challenge, I may present memorials photographed by other people (obviously they will receive credit).
The impetus for this was found last Monday when I was in the Richmond, Utah cemetery, taking pictures of Hill's (there are Hill's on my maternal side and I was going to check if they are related - turns out they aren't; the Richmond Hill's are from England and my Hill's are from Scotland) buried in the northeast corner of the cemetery. As I moved toward the last few markers I spotted an upright stone that, from the back, looked like dragon scales! The side of it looked like a tail and I had high hopes for the front...unfortunately, it was not meant to be. But it was still a very fascinating marker and so I took pictures of it.
(This was my first view of the marker)
(What, to me, looked like a tail)

(The front - showing that it is definitely not a dragon, but quite impressive nonetheless)
