The bridge near the center of Green Lawn Cemetery. This swampy pond was the quarry where tombstone materials were extracted. This small shack is located along the western edge of the grounds. It contained what seemed to be some kind of pump. This is one of three broken angel statues near the cemetery's rear. Vandals have broken this angel's wings and feet, leaving the parts on the stone. The top of this angel's left wing has been clipped off. This Goodman family stone was knocked off its base by a fallen tree branch. The tombstone for Georgie Blount, a child who died at the Deshler Hotel. Georgie had fallen off a banister, injuring his head on a metal stove. People leave trinkets for Georgie and his gravesite was adopted by the OES. This unique stone looks like saloon doors, maybe he was a bartender. The Civil War memorial near the cemetery's rear at sunset. A storm-damaged tree branch lay across this section of Civil War soldiers. More storm damage can be seen behind the LeCrone family tombstone. Look closely at the center of this picture and you'll see a deer. A storm damaged tree can be seen just beyond the Cook family stone. This tombstone for Paul and Mary Deoneso includes their photos. This stone for James Carmen, who died in 1963, also contained his photo. The angel is etched into the stone for the Richards family. A wide look at this section. The large obelisk belongs to the Jaeger family. More downed tree limbs from the storm that passed through the previous day. This limb damaged the stone belonging to Schimpf and a few others nearby. Another wide look at a section of the cemetery. This large pine tree uprooted and damaged several gravesites. This large tree fell over during the previous day's storms. Another tree that split and fell onto the gravesite. Half of this tree came crashing to the ground, damaging several stones. A large section of this tree fell across the roadway, making it impassible. A close-up shot of the tree from the previous photo. This tree damages several nearyby tombstones. The OES adopted the John Barr family cast iron stone, with a flaming urn.

This monument belongs to Emil Ambos, who was an avid fisherman in life. The tombstone for Theodor Jasper is near a Civil War burial section. Theodor gave his life trying to save another in 1873. This unique bronze sarcophagus monument belongs to Schumacher. All the graves in the Section M Civil War section are buried in a large circle. The outer ring of the south part of the circle are mostly unknown soldiers. One after another, all of these stones belong to the unkown dead. All stones stated "Unknown US Soldier", except this one. This flag flew high above the Civil War section pictured above. Fred Lazarus and family mausoleum, proprietors of the Lazarus stores. This monument is west of the Lazarus mausoleum. Our last look at the cemetery on this cool spring day.
