Maria and Jamie from Riverside Cemetery teach us about the lost language of tombstone iconography from the Victorian era, as well as many of the people buried beneath them. Hear the history of the stones, the meaning of the symbols carved or sculpted on them and why this was significant to the Victorians. They talk about the colorful history of those who chose these symbols, how they are significant to Cleveland's history and any other interesting stories about their lives. The stories include inventors, wayward notaries, immigrants from the turn of the century who fought for the rights of the poor, and local names we hear a lot but don't know their actual stories.
