Headstone of the Week


This is one of the only upright arched marble stones in the cemetery. It is a style found abundantly in the cemeteries in New England. Featured prominently is the arch of oak leaves and acorns representing sacred eternity and the Corinthian columns on either side holding up the over-arching protection of God. I celebrate the memory of Mr. James Wilson who, after living 68 years died peacefully in his sleep. Now he sleeps under the maple trees in Multnomah Park Cemetery.
