Ted took these photos about two years ago. They were taken during a tour of the Armour Chapel, the centerpiece of Elmwood Cemetery. These were 35mm photos, but Ted scanned them into his computer and sent them to me to share on the website.

The first one shows Ted's son in the foreground...the beautiful chapel in the background:



These next two show the black oak angels in the rafters...carved in England and brought over to the United States to forever-more hold up the roof of the Armour Chapel:





The Chapel is available for events, weddings, workshops, etc...but you need to call 877-231-0373 to find out prices and make your reservations:



This photo reveals our photographer, Ted. Ted has sent me a couple dozen photos, and will be sending me even more...so a big thanks to Ted:



This hatchway goes up into the bell tower:



A picture of Ted's son, ringing the bell. I've gotten a chance to ring the bell myself, and it is so beautiful...but so loud!
