Overfield Cemetery, Meshoppen, PA As I travel around, visiting cemeteries in eastern Pennsylvania, I have found many zinc monuments, made by the Monumental Bronze Company of Bridgeport, CT. Here is the link to the first blog I wrote about the company: Heavy Metal Memories This week, I'll show off some of my finds, especially ones that I've found in the little towns of Wayne, Susquehanna and Wyoming Counties. Since many of the early settlers of these areas came from Connecticut around the time of the American Revolution, it stands to reason they may have kept in touch with family still residing in Connecticut throughout the 1800's. And when the Monumental Bronze Company began selling their zinc cemetery markers in the late 19th-century, through salesmen living in different parts of the country...well, it's a hypothesis of mine that Pennsylvania salesmen were told about the opportunities to be realized selling these monuments from their relatives in the home state of the manufacturer. Someday I will do the research to try to prove it. But in the meantime, enjoy the Zincs...some of these are the earliest produced by Monumental Bronze.
