Three DC Cemeteries: St. Marys Catholic Cemetery

This is the last of my three DC Cemeteries that I visited in Northeast Washington D.C. Graves date back to the early 180o's and it was very well kept nice cemetery. All three of these Cemeteries were in the Edgewood area of Northeast D.C.

Three Washington DC Cemeteries: Glenwood Cemetery

Glenwood Cemetery dates back to the early 1800's. It was first called Clover Hill Farm before changing it's name by decree of the U.S. Congress in 1854 as Glenwood Cemetery. While the cemetery has a lot of old and historic graves, my discovery of the below statues made out fallen tree stumps and bases (created two years ago) was by far my find of the day! The artist is Dayton Scoggins from Mississippi. He is a professional chain saw artist. The four oak trees were carved into Angles, Dragon and Tiger with a rabbit, snake and rat at the base of the Tiger.

This statue greets visitors to Glenwood Cemetery.

Three Washington DC Cemeteries: Prospect Hill Cemetery

While I already have my DC Cemetery for the 51 cemeteries project, on this last Saturday in September I visited three Washington DC cemeteries next to each other. The first one is Prospect Hill Cemetery. Prospect Hill was found in 1858 and is a historic landmark. It's described as a "German-American" cemetery.

This first photo was very disturbing to see, a fallen angel...

Tomorrow I will post photo's from Glenwood Cemetery, which inclued a couple of statues made out of fallen trees by a Mississippi Artist knows as "the chain saw artist"
