Helpmate, Historian

On the way back from the Avenues Fest we checked out a corner of the cemetery we haven't been to yet - it's an older part with more LDS graves -  you can usually tell...

There are lot more famous Mormons in this part of the cemetery, including this architect of mansions, factories, and forts...

Sam died building the LDS temple (although 80 years old seems to be pushing the limits of retirement buddy!)

There are many lions in Salt Lake City, I assume because Brigham Young was called the "Lion of the Lord." In fact, the city's professional Ultimate frisbee team is the Lions

We were impressed with this tombstone, which was actually a piece of petrified wood!

You know, I've always been partial to historic New England graveyards, but these are so fascinating! I love the life details. "Helpmate" is awesome.
