Calvary Cemetery is located in Denison texas, Grayson County. One of the Prominent Sculptures can be seen right inside the Entrance is called the Angel of Grief based on the famous Angel of grief Created by William Wetmore Story for his wife in a protestant cemetery in Rome. The last name on the Grieving angel is Pastore. She used to have a hand but no longer does.
Calvary Cemetery was founded in 1883, the first burial occurring in 1884.
This cemetery has many beautiful stones apart from the obvious Pastore monument.

Thanks for your informative page with commentary and lovely photos. I enjoy strolling through the cemeteries of North Texas to learn the stories, assist with upkeep while walking, and, of course, taking photos and sometimes studying further. Best wishes! Chris Foster
