The entrance of Green Lawn Cemetery lit up by a street light at night. The historical marker for the cemetery just beyond the main gates. The roadways are very dark inside the cemetery at night, there is little lighting. Gay Mausoleum lit up by the flash of the camera. A tombstone's outline in front of the Huntingtion Chapel/Mausoelum. Another look at Green Lawn's main mausoleum during the night. This Indian Chief statue is lit up red with a flashlight we were carrying. With the flash, we can see it belongs to a man named Gabriel. The Briggs coral monument lit up by the flash in the dark night. A merchant-ball tombstone is inside the coral monument. This is the Civil War section in Section M as shown on the previous page. This tombstone was actually in the shape of a coffin. This stone in the shape of a cross is faintly lighted by our headlamp. A switch to the red light gives the cross a creepy red glow. This monument erected in 1897 lights up bright with the flash. A small marble angel kneels down on the newer granite tombstone. Lucas Sullivant's stone with the city lit sky in the background. Eliza Sullivant's stone lit up with our headlamp. Another photo of Eliza Sullivant's stone lit by the camera flash. Isaac Jones' tombstone, he died in January of 1882. The tombstone of Georgie Blount at night. The red glow gives Georgie a very eerie feeling. As you can now see, someone has left Georgie a stuffed animal. Even with the camera flash, this obelisk stone seems to be dimly lit. The Hines family tombstone lit up red by our headlamp. The angel atop the Hines family tombstone. Some damaged trees from a storm that happened earlier.
