It is one of the oldest cemeteries in Rock Island. People dress up in costumes and play the roles of the famous people of the Quad Cities who are buried there. One of our classmates, Jay, played a little boy named Eddie Dimick who died of diphtheria. The tombstone of the Dimick's is a chair and a dog because the dog came there every day after the children died. You can see many different statues that represent the deceased.
Different tombstones fill the cemetery with all kinds of shapes.
Some of the statues are anchors,anvils, and chairs. There are about four different kinds of anchors. There are also tree trunks and baby carriages. One tombstone is a huge ball. It looked like a big ball of smooth glass.
