Fixing the Leaning Monuments

On January 30, 2025, Carl Hughes and his team from Meadowlark Memorials straightened the monuments of Philip Lewis, Benjamin Pruss, David Brown and for the Oppenheimer family plot. We thank Meadowlark Memorials for giving these monuments hopefully at least another century of ‘life’.

The monument for Philip Lewis was leaning.

The work consisted of raising the monument and filling in the grave.

The monument for Benjamin Pruss was in the worst shape of the four. The monument was not secure on the base, it was leaning, and the kerbing on one side had sunken.

The monument for David Brown was leaning.
