Description
One of the most striking and unusual pieces of memorial art I've found resides in Evergreen Hill Cemetery in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Carved around the turn of the 20th century by blacksmith Henry Church, Jr., it sat in his front yard, along with other carvings which were his hobby, until the city fathers reluctantly allowed it to be installed at the cemetery in 1906, two years before Henry Church died. The sculpture was sent to the Cleveland Museum of Art in 1996 where it was exhibited until the museum renovated in 2014. It is now back at Evergreen Hill Cemetery, where it has pride of place on Church's tombstone.
