The base of this statue appeared in this post for its epitaph.

Headless
A pair of statues, each lacking its head.
From Oakwood Cemetery:

A few more names
As the titles say. One X, one vintage virtue-filled, and two nouns.
From Assumption Cemetery, Syracuse, NY, Frick:
Scrubs, Elliot, fricking frick.
From North Syracuse Cemetery, Lake Merritt:
Very geographic.
From Rome Cemetery, Xury Wells:
There's a prevalent lack of X-word names in the world.
From Forest Hill Cemetery, Trueworthy G. Wood...
...and Orange Vebber.
