Oberkoetter monument in St. Joseph’s Cemetery, located in Bloomington, McLean County, Illinois.
Tombstone of F.H. Oberkoetter, born 25 Jan. 1828 and died 22 July 1895. Anna, his wife, born 7 Oct. 1836 and died 22 March 1903. Note that I am not related to these individuals, and do not have further information on them.
The Oberketter monument is another example of why it's a pity so many cemeteries have gone to flat-to-the-ground stones, thereby relegating the art of stone carving to the dustbin of history.
