While working through photos to upload to my flickr site I came across this one that I meant to blog about last year.
In my walks through many cemeteries I have found zinc markers, also known as white bronze, only from the Western White Bronze Co in Des Moines, IA. I was happy to discover one, in a rural cemetery in the county next door, from the Detroit Bronze Co in Detroit Michigan. A lucky find? Perhaps. According to information found online this subsidiary only operated 4 years.
Now - can I add one from the Chicago subsidiary to my collection? Without going to the Chicago area? I hope so!

Cross on a hill
I was reviewing the photos I had taken in this rural cemetery when I noticed the little symbol. To me it looks like a cross on a hill enclosed in the circle. Has anyone else seen this before?
