This is an unusual monument in the Van Pelt Cemetery in Shelby County, Indiana.  It is not a relative but I do have relatives in this cemetery and found this interesting.  I first saw this monument over 40 years ago.

Mr. James V. Philips 1890-1963

Mr. Philips was an older man who came to the area.  He lived in a small trailer on a neighbors property and did carpentry work.  He was very private about his past and no one knows where he came from.  I would love to know more about him but this is all I have to go on.

Rod always loved air planes.  This is an F 100, his favorite as a Crew Chief.  Under the pilot's window is "RUG"  (his nickname)  just as on the real one.  R.I.P. Rod  we miss you!

  This is in the Kingscreek Baptist Cemetery in Champaign County, Ohio.  I have been visiting family graves in this cemetery most of my life.  This monument is not a member of my family but my dad always told us there was a car buried there.  Being trusting children we believed him and to this day we still stop by this grave and discuss "was there really a car buried there."  Daddy, we miss you and your sense of humor!!
