Height: 18 feet

Yes, 18 feet tall. This zinc tombstone was originally for Dr. A. W. Kueckelhan and his wife, but became the family plot marker as time passed and other were buried around him.

There are 8 small zinc markers laid out in tow rows to the east of the main tombstone.

The main zinc marker has a large urn with a flame coming out of it on top, with the traditional drape draped down the column, and other small ornate frieze works around the column. On the south side is an ear of corn, the Dr.'s details on the west side, his wife numbers on the north side and the east side is blank.
