The monument photo is an "artist rendering" of the original monument. It's a replica made as near as possible using a computer.
The cemetery, itself, is in poor condition, which makes taking original photos extremely difficult. If, at such time the cemetery condition improves, this site will be updated with a more accurate photo.
