Images from the Cemetary

These pictures are all taken at Christ Church cemetary, an early American burial ground. I chose it because it is a seminal source of information for the period Philadelphia is most often known for: the colonial era. Most of the people that I chose have graves that have been marked as notable by Christ Church Cemetery, and are thus easier to discern and research. The first image is accompanied with a sample story of the type I am collecting for my project.
