The Art and Architecture of Death

Elizabeth Flowers Monument, North Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery

- Posted in Smaller Graveyards by

A particularly well-preserved monument in the romantic style of the 1860s, with two poetic epitaphs.

She was a mother good and kind
While she with us did stay
Life is short to all mankind
God’s call we must obey

Come, children, to my tomb and see
My name engraved here.
Remember, you must come to me.
Be like your mother dear.
