Lexington, Missouri, Tombstone and Grave of Anna West, Wife of Saml. B. Stramcke, historic photo
The tombstone and grave of Anna West, wife of Saml. B. Stramcke. Anna was born January 5, 1825 and died January 15, 1852, age 27. While some tombstones picture the deceased when they were alive and in full heath, it is uncommon to see a tombstone that portrays the deceased in death. This detailed tombstone pictures two angels hovering over and ministering to the deceased. This grave and tombstone is in the historic Machpelah Cemetery in Lexington, Missouri. See the enlarged detail view below.
