Elmwood Cemetery, family burial-ground with side view of Monument of Kersey and Sarah W Coates, Kansas City, MO; "Ah well! The fitful dream will soon be over, and the quiet cemetery awaits us. The birds and the trees and the flowers, the green grass, the sighing winds, the wintry storms, the dashing waves, the purling brooks, the fierce thunderbolts, the vivid lightning- -all, all fail to waken us from our sweet sleep" Copper Plate, used in Sarah Chandler Coates' book, In Memoriam, Page 190. The pagination provided is approximate since pages with images do not have numerals.
