Album 518: Bay Saint Louis MS - New Orleans LA, April 16 - 22, 2006

The image presents a weathered stone cross situated on the ground within the confines of a cemetery. The cross bears an inscription, although it is partially obscured due to the passage of time and the growth of vegetation around its edges.

At the top of the cross, the words "IN MEMORY OF" are visible, followed by an illegible name. Below this, the date "1906 - 8/12/1975" is legible, indicating that the individual interred here was born in 1906 and passed away on August 12th in 1975.

The cross itself appears to be constructed from a single piece of stone, likely limestone or granite, given its coloration. The surface exhibits signs of aging, characterized by cracks and fissures, while the edges are rough-hewn. Surrounding the cross is an abundance of vegetation, including grasses, leaves, twigs, and weeds, which have grown up through the cracks in the stone.

The overall atmosphere conveyed by this image is one of reverence and solemnity, as it captures a moment of quiet contemplation amidst the serene surroundings of a cemetery. The presence of the cross serves as a poignant reminder of the life and legacy of Rev. Benjamin Brown, whose memory is honored through this simple yet meaningful tribute. – AI vision

En dessous, la date "1906 - 8/12/1975" est lisible, indiquant que le corps inhumé ici est né en 1906 et est décédé le 12 août 1975.
