Angel of Grief
William Scott Youree

The Scottsville/Youree Cemetery is partly named for Peter Youree, a captain of the Confederate States of America who is interred there. Youree, a prominent banker, also built the first skyscraper in Shreveport, Louisiana.  William Scott Youree was his son who was killed in Monterey, Mexico. (Wikipedia)

Love the height of this monument that allows for the length of the wings.  She is missing a hand, but she is still beautiful.  The detail of her remaining hand and the drape of the fabric over her feet are lovely.
