Gal under Glass

|
One of the more popular memorials in Graceland Cemetery, this glass-enclosed sculpture sits near the graves of Mary and John Clarke, who actually did NOT have a daughter named Inez Clarke, listed here with the dates 1873-1880. According to experienced Graceland tour guide Al Walavich, no cemetery or census records exist for a person named Inez Clarke, and the Clarkes only had 2 daughters, neither of whom was named Inez. Instead, a young boy named Amos Briggs and his brother Delbert Briggs are buried here. The original sculptor, Andrew Gagel, probably used this marker on the Clarke's plot as an advertisement.
