One of the “Night” sculptures from the state capitol now stands at the top of Rutledge Falls near where I live. She was renamed during the move as “ Lady of the Falls”. Local pay visits daily just because the whole area is spectacular. We love “ Our Lady of the Falls”.

The second I’ve photographed in Metairie Cemtery is the Clark family tomb, I believe also built by Reynolds Iron.
In Odd Fellows, it’s the Foster and the Fairchild families. I have photos.
That makes 12….

I’ll check names. Please visit my new_orleans_cemeteries@instagram.com account, if you’d like. I’ll remind my aging brain of the family names tomorrow since it’s past midnight now. 🙂
