The family of this name settled on the Chippawa creek in 1789 and one of their
original log houses still stands. They were of “Pennsylvania Dutch” blood and were
loyal to the Crown in the Revolution and the war of 1812. The spelling of the name has
been altered during the elapsed century and “Miseners” are numerous in Welland county. (Niagara Historical Society 1910)
In this image I went for an edgy composition, quit literally too, to help convey the feeling - mixing light and shadow - life and death. The little double portrait on the grave stone is deliberately included as a kind of visual punctuation mark.
One for my beyond the obvious collection.

Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.
