Reflection of week 4

I loved the trolly ride. It was so interesting to see how far the cemetery has come. We saw the parts of the cemetery where al of the gravesites looked exactly alike and there was absolutely no variety to any of them. We also went to the more contemorary parts of the cemetery where the monuments were not so large but more just average and for the more common families. Each section of Spring Grove has its own swagger. All the sections were from different times and eras and you can see what trends were popular and when. It was interesting to go to the top and look out it was as if the cemetery never ended. My favorite monument had to be the Mayor's where he was fishing on the back and formal on the front...can you say ICONOGRAPHY! Also I like coming around toward the front of spring grove where there was a central monument and many different people had bought sites around it. It was neat to walk around that circle of people and read the headstones...each were very very different people..but all ended up right in the same plot!
