Document Summary
Despite the cold and the wind, our visit to stonewall jackson cemetery was rather enjoyable. Looking at and around for interesting looking graves was more fun than i anticipated it would be and i ended up finding some really interesting ones. For example, the first grave i saw was in the shape of a castle. I searched online, but unfortunately there is no associated symbolism for death and a castle. The story behind grave itself was still interesting however. It was the grave of a fifteen year old girl who died at vmi. She was both a wife and a daughter at the age of fifteen which i found interesting and the grave dated back to 1859. On the grave was the inscription, god help us, suggesting the girl was religious and probably feared death.
