Monument Hill Cemetery, part 2

I chose these photographs because of the images or the text used on the monuments.

Below the text reads: BORN IN MEETEETSE, WYO. APRIL 6, 1900. OWNED AND OPERATED THE BASIN RANCH AND SPENT HIS ENTIRE ACTIVE LIFE HERE. DIED SUDDENLY AT THERMOPOLIS, WYO. SEPTEMBER 22, 1952.

The next two photographs are of the same monument.

The text found below the date of death reads: Earth has been better for they life. A christian mother fond and true. A noble faithful loving wife.

The text at the base of the headstone below reads: Hey Dude - The Party Is In Heaven

On the next two grave markers are images not unique to the West and are used on grave markers for babies and infants. The lamb or sheep image depicts innocence.

The text below reads: AS GOOD A RIDER AS EVER RODE A "BRONK." AS GOOD A MAN AS EVER WORE SPURS. ERECTED BY ADMIRING FRIENDS.

The text below reads: LET ME LIVE IN A HOUSE BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND BE A FRIEND TO MAN
