Wednesday’s child: Lilly C. Schrock
The empty shoes carved on the grave of Lilly C. Schrock are plain, with no detail, but what the stone lacks in artistry, it makes up for in emotion.
LILLY C.
Dau. Of V. & M.
SCHROCK
1886 — 1887
Pioneer Cemetery, Franklin County, Ohio
I've never seen this before. I've seen lambs, angels and cut flowers on baby graves, but not little shoes. How poignant! Is this common in your area?
ReplyDeleteNot common but I have seen photos of at least one other in the area. I was surprised when I came upon this one. Very effective imagery.
