Searching for specific grave stone types!

St. Patrick

St. Luke and St. Paul 

We took a class trip to St. Luke and St. Paul's Cathedral Church and St. Patrick's Catholic Church to identify grave types.  I liked the different types of gravestones and the churchyards. We went into St.Luke and St.Paul Cathedral Church and I really liked the inside as well; It reminded me of some of the churches that I've been in and they look very traditional.

The following are from St. Luke and St. Paul's Cathedral Church:

Bedstead

This is a bedstead. The first thing that I noticed is it has been through some weather. The person that is buried here is named Samuel Bonneau Pickens and he was born on July 13th, 1839 and he died on September 17th, 1891. He lived a span of 52 years.
