Life among the headstones

I enjoy a good graveyard. Some are a spiritual delight, some very sad.

One plot I saw had a central headstone with a number of little stones around. It was the parents, with a half-dozen children who died of yellow fever within a few weeks of each other.

Another plot was that of a young man who died at the age of eighteen; the inscription on his headstone was 'all our hopes lie buried here'.

In a third, a young wife was buried in her bridal gown, with the inscription 'a bride adorned for her Husband, Revelation 21:2'.
