Chalmers Headstone
Wallace Chalmers was involved in perfecting and patenting a rubber suspension system for vehicles and his family chose to have a very unique headstone made for him. This granite tire is 36" wide and 6" deep and has to be one of the most unique I have ever seen! The reflection in the middle is a little added feature.
What a great way to remember him!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very unique headstone and sounds like a nice tribute to this man's life work.
ReplyDeleteI think Mt Pleasant Cemetery would be a nice place to walk through Pat, the gates in the last post are very impressive. I love that mr. Chalmers family have really thought about his headstone and made it so relevant and personal.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, what a great memorial. Bet Wallace Chalmers would have loved that!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great touch for a tombstone!
ReplyDeleteThat is someone who's family really respected the mans work. great shot.
ReplyDeleteHe will never ever be tired again:-) Rest in peace Wallace.
ReplyDeleteMine will be a camera.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a gravestone like this. Terrific!
ReplyDeleteA very apt tribute, fantastic!
ReplyDeleteVery unique and very apropos! Maybe he rides around the cemetery at night?
ReplyDeleteStill got a lot of tread on that tire, though. But it would be funny if some morning this was in a different place.
Poor guy can never leave work.
ReplyDeleteFunny one! I wonder if he has anything to do with Allis Chalmers?
ReplyDeleteThat is just cool!
