After having walked through Lithia Park in the morning we made our way from Ashland over to Jacksonville. The wife had been told by a friend from work to go to the cemetery located there because I would love it for the photographic opportunities. It was a very beautiful place and I want to desperately return when the weather is cooler. While exploring the grounds I found this marker for Patrick McMahon. There are two vases located at the entrance to the plot that I had thought to use to frame the headstone. Try as I might I couldn’t get the composition to look right. So I pushed just beyond the vases to get as much of the headstone and surrounding landscape as possible. The marker reads:
To the Memory of
Patrick McMahon
Husband of
Mary Jane McMahon
Died
July 3, 1886
A Native of Ireland
May his soul rest in peace
I have a few more I’ll be sharing over the rest of the week.
