Whiting Clock Monuments at Church Street Grave Yard-Mobile, Alabama

Abby Ann Whiting, 1820-1866
James Whiting, 1828-1870

Both monuments stand next to each other, saying, “Erected by their mother.” Their mother, Susan, passed away in 1876. The poignant angel weeks and the clocks, with their hands inching towards midnight, illustrate Victorian iconography.

These monuments are in the Church Street Graveyard in Mobile, Alabama. While a small cemetery, many interesting monuments are contained within its walls.
