feisty memorial

 

On Election Day, at Cleveland's Lake View Cemetery, i saw a new stone memorial. The stele had a column on the left, and a painted diamond above the family name. There also was a bench. The married couple, look by the inscription, to be still alive. They can come and look at their memorial.

  If the diamond was like a base ball diamond, look just before first base.

 Part of the memorial was a bench with these words on top.

color at Lake View

Yesterday would have been better, regarding leaf color.  This year, autumn leaves came late. High color came after the fourth week of October, and rain continued for days. Yesterday had that rare combination of sun and comfortable temperature. To-day, the rain was ended by dawn, and the temperature started out as warm, and there was continuous wind. The leaves falling was accelerated. Lake View Cemetery was still in very good color, maybe not to-morrow.

 

Haserot is a frozen food company. Someone left a pumpkin, perhaps for All Hallows.

Cassius demonstrates that black is colorful.

Stones are not so much carved, now, they are air stenciled. Compressed air removes the stone.

St. Margaret of Hungary Parish 1919-2009

Well, one does not expect a parish (stone says church, there is a difference, you can see the parish had moved from the old neighbourhood by Buckeye Road to the suburbs). A parish is a corporate person. 

Cleveland had a tyrant of a bishop, Richard Lennon, who will be chiefly remembered for closing 58 parishes in Cleveland, after he closed many in Boston before he came to Ohio. He especially liked closing ethnic (national) parishes, as many American bishops have done. Lennon also disposed of their assets. He controlled as many purse strings as he could gather. Some were of parishes, some of organisations, and some of lives.

This stone is in All Saints Cemetery Northfield, near the Nativity of Mary mausoleum. I wonder if he knew this was done. Can't really ask him now, he is completely gaga, i hear.
