I have a curiosity about cemeteries, the stones and symbols of the decorations, and the stories told. The older stones have ornateness that more recent ones do not and I love to capture these. I have tried to include meanings for the symbols chosen for the various stones as well show the stories told on the stones.
The Darling tombstone is very similar to the Bales stone having the leaning, broken tree stump indicating interrupted life,and mourning. Notice the family name Darling is shown with wood and plants. Also present are oak leaves and acorns indicating potential in life. Eudora, Kansas City Cemetery Dec. 15, 2001
