      It is probably symbolic of the parable of the woman who lost a coin and swept her whole house until she found it. Referencing how God will work tirelessly to find lost souls.

    The type of grave with all the red flowers is a "cradle grave" - typically used for infants or stillbirths, so it's very kind to see that it is being maintained all these years later 💗

      Yes, you are right it is a cradle crave and these were common for children. However they are also common for all ages. This one was for a a twenty something year old. I have seen a lot of them for adults but rare to see one so well taken care of. The flowers in this one was beautiful, a rare vision. Thanks for watching, 💜🤗

One torch points down indicating Death, and the other upright, signifying Rebirth. The classical revival brought many of these symbols back into use, particularly those relating to death.

    The grave you state is " is a lady with a mop " it's not a mop . She is holding a torch with a flame still burning even though it has fallen . Since Rebecca Sire raised money for families in the South after the civil war , I think torch still burning , even though it has fallen is representative of the south . They may have lost the war , but their spirit still is alive , I.e. the flame .

    Blossom, 62, was born and educated in St. Louis and graduated from Amhurst College in 1934.
    He worked as an investment broker in the 1930's and founded Master Plastic Corporation which furnished parts for the aircraft industry in the 40's.
    He sold his interest in 1952 and the following year married Eleanor Barrows Waterbury. He moved her and her family to St. Louis where he operated an insurance agency until 1960.
    He was a winter visitor to Wickenburg since 1953 until 1960 when he established a home here. He was active in several small businesses and in 1967 he was a founder of Hydroculture, Inc., a pioneer firm in hydroponic growing. He served as Vice-President and Director of that Company until his death.
    He is survived by his mother and brother in St. Louis, his wife and two adopted children and five grandchildren.

    In Bellefontaine and Calvary's old embrace,
    Where time has left its weathered trace,
    There lies a realm of ancient grace,
    Where strange and eerie headstones pace.
    Among the shadows, tombs arise,
    Their secrets hidden 'neath dark skies,
    With marble faces and silent cries,
    They stand as sentinels, ancient and wise.
    Creepy and beautiful, their forms entwine,
    Inscribed with tales from a bygone time,
    Markers of souls now lost to rhyme,
    Yet their presence lingers, a spectral chime.
    Beneath the moon's ethereal glow,
    Whispers of the past gently flow,
    As grave robbers once dared to sow,
    Their greed in soil where spirits grow.
    But among the moss and ivy's vine,
    A sense of peace begins to shine,
    For though the living may decline,
    These old graves hold stories divine.
    So wander with us through the night,
    Where tombstones gleam in eerie light,
    In Bellefontaine and Calvary's sight,
    Where old cemetery graves ignite.

    Rebecca West Sefton Sire, looked her up, "First married to August Rene Chouteau (the grandson of explorer Pierre Chouteau), Rebecca then married Captain Joseph A. Sire after Chouteau's death. She spent countless hours caring for the wounded soldiers of both the North and the South during the Civil War, even taking untold numbers into her own home. She served as President of the Southern Relief Fair, often spending her own funds". Probably moping up after the aftermath.
