The monument for Nathan A. Baldwin

This is a post for #Cemeteryphotos Challenge by @melinda01010
I haven't joined this challenge often, but when I did a couple of my walks around Milford recently I walked through the Milford Cemetery and this memorial/tomb is quite moving and I thought I would share some shots of it.

This is in Memory of Nathan A Baldwin and in the four corners are statues that are crowned Faith, Hope, Charity, and Love.

Inside the glass is a woman, weeping over the grave

Nathan was laid to rest in 1898 and as you can see his memorial is still in pretty good condition, especially when compared to some headstones in the same cemetery from that time.

I was not able to find too much about him other than that he was involved in the manufacture of Straw goods in a well known New York Firm and had acquired a handsome estate.

As you can see from these shots, you will also note that there are many other quite ornate looking memorials and headstones in this cemetery, I am not sure why but i general feel hmmm what is the word awkward taking photos in the ceetery, but I may take and share some other shots from ther ein the future

That's all Folks
