DescriptionA monument, apparently of granite, is located in a cemetery, surmounting a mount, probably a burial vault. The names of the members of the Olmsted family and their dates of birth and death are inscribed on the stone. Other gravestones, some of them in the shape of obelisks, are in the background. One plot is surrounded by a fence. Leafless trees and a large building, probably a house, are in the background. Dead leaves are on the grassy lawn in the foreground. Details show close-ups of the inscriptions.
