Mister Brocke


Mister Brocke died too young but his headstone is unusually handsome.  


Looks like the stone was originally part of something that was much, much older.

Photographed at North Park Pioneer Cemetery near Lea Park, Alberta on July 17, 2023.

    That's one of the most beautiful tomb stones I've ever seen!

    A very unique marker. There has to be an interesting story behind it. Brocke was a talented Alberta artist, from what I understand.

      I didn't know about him so thank you for the heads up. You never who you'll run into in a country cemetery.
