The Bastian family memorialized four members in zinc. Two were the parents (Owen W. and Mary A.) and two were the children (Mary J. and Laura J.).

The headstones are all in a row along one of the roads within the cemetery. It is actually pretty tragic as the parents outlived the children in this family.

This is a taller, thinner headstone with an urn on the top with an anchor on the back. The anchor apparently means hope or eternal life.
