It was the last day of November when I passed through a surprisingly busy town in Western Wisconsin. It seemed like the sort of place where "Tree Shaped Tombstones" would be found. So I took a detour to the cemetery where a couple of deer stared at me fearlessly. Hey, last day of hunting season and besides they were safe in the city limits.
I was not disappointed.
Buy hey, wait a minute. What's that?
Modern "Trees" are quite rare. And this one has its own granite bench. There's gotta be a story here. This first photo worried me....
The explanation is HERE. This is the memorial for Leona Grace Johnson, who died in 2022 at the age of 100. Noah and Jonah are just a couple of her many great grandchildren. So rather than this being a memorial to some tragic death of children it is a monument to a life that seems to have been very well lived indeed. Cheers Leona.
