Rosehill Cemetery Chicago IL

Frances M. Pearce Wife of Horatio O. Stone, died May 1864
Frances Pearce Daughter of H.O. Stone

This incredible sculpture is protected from the elements by a glass box. It dominates its small section, surrounded by a few flat headstones (including that of Horatio O. Stone, who commissioned the work when his young wife died in childbirth). The sculpture is signed "C.B. Ives, Roma 1866"

The Pearce monument is said to be haunted-- supposedly, on the anniversary of Frances' death, the glass box will be filled with a mysterious white mist. [Taylor 1998]

There are stories that say she did not die in childbirth but did die a few months before the child did.
