Description
Here lies Mattie, daughter of W.C. and H.A Divine.
She lived in this plane of existence for 14 years, 13 days.
The circumstances behind her transcendence into the next realm is unknown to me!
This memorial is located at Pineview Cemetery, in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
Thanks for looking, God bless you!

Wonderful capture Troy! This really brings up a lot of feeling... hard to imagine that 'too soon' part. Love the strong shadow/light play, and the tones really resonate with the image - excellent work +++
Powerful capture, a palapable feeling of deep grief is conveyed in this memorial stone. Excellent work my friend, it stopped me in my tracks, so very sad to be "taken too soon". Hugs.
I love the tone of your image, Troy ! Excellent postwork and presentation ! :~)
Very interesting statue and excellent composition for you... Well done my dear ;) good day and kiss and huge, hugs...
What a beautiful memorial to their beloved daughter. This is very touching.
WOW!! this is so sad and beautiful what a tribute to a life.... she would have been about my Nells age .. 100 years ago and beautiful victorian sculpture almost makes me teary here... sigh ... the medical advanges we have now compared to then !!...
Wonderful capture and tones!!! Bravo :)
outstanding rendition that tells a story.. perfect Troy hugsssss my friend..:) l love this
A lot of children died here too in that period... Old people kept telling that it was the bad water, and talked about 'the blue disease'... something about bad nitrates in the water. Of course it could have been anything (even appendicitis). Beautiful, moving capture of this wonderful memorial!
Perfect and VOTE
