One of my favorite items there is the weeping angel. I think she is so very beautiful, and would love to have her in my yard, or even my house if I could fit it. I think that tells the whole story of the way we feel when someone we love goes on without us. Also in this section is a grave of a person that was born December 10, 1886 exactly 100 years to the day before our Son, Tommy was born.
We also visited the grave of Mary, who died because her skirt caught fire. I just thought it was crazy that her tomb stone has the engraving of a woman with flames on her skirt. I just hope that the people who knew and loved Mary remember her for something other than this.
Next we visited the tomb of Alice, who was buried sitting upright in her favorite rocking chair. Next to her is her loving husband. Notice the beautiful fence that surrounds their graves, It is beautiful.
Onward we traveled to the section of the CONFEDERATE DEAD. Through out the cemetery there are other graves that are actually marked with the names of Confederate Soldiers but the one's inside the gate that says CONFEDERATE DEAD either the names have worn off or they were not named. On the tops of the 10" by 12" markers are the initials CSA.
This is the sign as you come into Aberdeen Cemetery.
We will be visiting other cemeteries in the Aberdeen, as well as surrounding areas. Will post as we come across the neat, and wonderful things of Mississippi.
