Located in Washington Memorial Park is a stone monument containing an inscription in front that reads:
Sunset and Evening Star and One Clear Call For Me.
This quote is by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and from a poem written in 1889 titled, Crossing the Bar. This quote fits with the theme of a cemetery since Wikipedia states: "the poem has a tone of finality and the narrator uses an extended metaphor to compare death with crossing the "sandbar" between river of life, with its outgoing "flood", and the ocean that lies beyond [death], the "boundless deep", to which we return."
