Close Encounter, Pink Style

Rosalie Raymond And Friends 1882
I cannot walk past Rosalie without taking a photograph. She is one of five children buried here, all lost to disease.
Her head stone is the most elaborate being a stone baby carriage and a ‘plaster cast’ of Rosalie’s face.
Face casts were popular in the late 1800’s. This one remains since the monument has an overhang of stone to protect it.
