I can't tell you which cemetery in Boston these two monuments were found but a friend sent these to me and I thought they were worthy enough to pass along to you.
They lay so still/faintly smiling/ at the fools around them/quietly toiling

S. H. Harden in Newaygo Cemetery
This monument is certainly unique among civil war veteran gravesites.
While it is not uncommon to see a life-size statue of a Union soldier at a Grand Army of the Republic Monument, it's rare to see one at the grave of a single soldier.
