"The Caile Cemetery Angel..."

Annie Laura

Wife of W.W. Johnson

October 10, 1865 

December 20, 1919

Not too far from where I live, there is an old cemetery that has been there as long as I can remember... and this beautiful angel stands guard over a grave.

Regardless of the weather, she was always standing there... she became a landmark that I would look for...

The other day, I stopped to see her... and take these images of her...

  

The statuary looks older than the headstone on which she is mounted.  I wonder what the story is?  Did the original headstone break or have some flaw in it??  The headstone says she is the wife of W. W. Johnson... yet he isn't buried there...

What great loves did Annie Laura experience in her life time? What great heartbreaks?? What happiness... what sadness???

It doesn't matter now, I guess...

She has a wonderful guardian.
