    The lady with the mop

      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.

She was President of the southern relief fair which raised over 140,000$ to be distributed to impoverished families in the south affected by the war. 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. the mop represents the ones she cared for (wounded soldiers cleaning up blood and aided them.

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 .

    Active Wickenburg resident Brad Blossom died Friday June 14 at Wickenburg Community Hospital of Cancer.
    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.

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.

    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.
