Photos taken by George.

George sent me the following information about Lakeview Cemetery:

The Lakeview Cemetery is located at 885 Boston Avenue, (part of US Route 1) in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and was founded in 1810. It contains over 36,000 graves today. It is located at 41.19521° N and 73.17394° W.

Many Russian descendents live in the area. Russian labor was brought here to build a manufacturing plant to manufacture guns for army of the czar of Russia back in 1910 or so. The czar was deposed before the plant was completed and GE bought it and turned it into a manufacturing plant for toaster ovens. The inscriptions on the monument are in Cyrillic.

The Ball monument is about the only round thing among so many square edges that it stands out. I have no idea how they made the thing so perfectly round. Using this would really improve my bowling score.

The White Bronze is apparently mostly made of zinc. A tap with the finger issued a metallic hollow sound. The high resolution photos make some of the metal joints visible.

I couldn't resist a photo of a stone monument with the word "Zink." I doubt that Mister Zink had humor in mind when his stone was placed near a zinc monument.
