Arthur Henri Poole - Remembering the Mammy and Daddy!

An Irish boy who did well in the US remembers his Mother and Father with a beautifully crafted tombstone! The workmanship on this is really fine work at a time when machines did very little of the work...Thanks in particular to Niall McAuley ( /photos/gnmcauley/ ) who found this monument on the (aptly named) FindagraveDOTcom site ( http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=99815628 ) , confirming its location as Holy Cross church cemetery in Tramore, County Waterford. Thanks also to today's other contributors for the extra information on the Flanagan-Power family who commissioned the memorial, as well as the O'Keefe works that likely commissioned this photo of their own work......Photographer: A.
