STOLEN report: Tombstone Monument

wanted to make a post about a tombstone monument stolen overnight from a historical cemetery here in waco ..

this is what the monument is supposed to look like .. the piece on top of the pedestal is the shape of an aladdin's lamp ...
if you would like to read the story .. please go here ..

David Evans, superintendent at Oakwood Cemetery on South Fifth Street, stands next to William Cowper Brann's grave marker. Evans said he suspects a Baylor University fraternity prank led to the theft of the top portion of the marker. (Rod Aydelotte photo) ...

this is what the monument looks like now .. it is the final resting place of William Cowper Brann ..

.... though they may believe it is a prank .. i have seen lots of things like this for sale at shows and flea markets .. and antique stores .. so i am posting it so if you see it, you will know .. and know who to contact ..

have a good day .. i am off to work in the warehouse and hit a small sale nearby ..

laterz,

troy & rod

  1. What a shame! Great idea to post this so all of us can be on the look out for it. Yes I have seen things from graves myself and wonder where they got them and why
    It might show up out at Warrenton this spring
