Kloman Shaft, St. Mary’s Cemetery

- Posted in St. Mary’s Cemetery by

A big urn on a towering shaft seems like a mixed metaphor, but it certainly makes the Kloman plot easy to find. It was probably put up in about 1879, when the first Kloman buried here died. There is generous space on the base for inscriptions, but nothing has ever been inscribed.
