Like the example the other day from McKinley Wisconsin, this tree shaped tombstone was encountered on a little road trip. Baseball tournament destination. Prior to setting out I usually go to Google Maps and scan for small town cemeteries. Sometimes you see interesting things, sometimes not. A few are not even "on the map". This little place - St. Peter's Cemetery - did not look like much, but I pulled in anyway. And found another "one off" tree. It is also another late one, and has an unusual inscription. Perhaps related in some way to the one in McKinley?
Some purists might not count these "rugged cross" variants, but I rather like them. The horizontal elements often have interesting features. Like this "dying dove".
And another cryptic inscription. This time Google helped out. It seems to be Norwegian and say "Dedicated to your Memory".
