Tombstone in Shape of Desk

Cemetery South off Ne Rt 2 contains a number of unique tombstones. One is in shape of a life-sized desk with a number of open books containing the names of the deceased. There are also a number of tombstones shaped like various forms of logs. [Charles Lynn, 08/08/2005]

[RA: The desk is an ornate roll-top marking the 19th century Harding family plot. Nebraska City is the "Home of Arbor Day," and seems to have inspired the profusion of log and stump gravestones in Wyuka Cemetery.]
