My husband and I do a lot of volunteer work in a historic cemetery here in Brooklyn and I love to wander around reading all the inscriptions and photographing the multitude of angels.<br />There are some early Dutch stones that have similar engravings to the first few you showed.<br /><br />Your great grandfather's headstone is beautiful!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603716759637498541.post-27631177131805594172009-11-05T17:22:20.433-04:002009-11-05T17:22:20.433-04:00How did I miss you post?

And your grandfather's headstone is interesting and personal, too. What a great idea, to carve a fiddle in memory of the musician who played it. Thank you for showing us these photos.susannahttp://www.susannassketchbook.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603716759637498541.post-20484369105307047072009-11-01T11:32:24.460-04:002009-11-01T11:32:24.460-04:00How beautiful!

I had never seen a stone with a protective covering before. The carved angels speak to me and your grandfathers head stone. The carved fiddle is beautiful.
