Moise Lessard Tombstone

  • JACKIE BLEECKER said:
    Thank you so much for posting this! Moïse le 1er Lessard ('Moses 1') was my great-great grandfather. He donated land in Flinton to the Catholic Church. His land is where St. John The Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, it's cemetery and manse now stand. His portrait is on display in the "Lessard Room" at St. John The Evangelist.

    The mirroring of headstones, buildings and smokestacks is just a compositional masterpiece. Always loved this and used a reference image when I taught black and white photography classes in college.

    What a statement this photo makes. It is a prophecy of the AMERICAN FUTURE IN INDUSTRY...
  • ROBERT HUFFSTUTTER said:
    There is a story to tell here, a story about the greatest generation, a story about the life and death of America's steel industry, a story too, about crosses and the ACLU's efforts to remove them. Don't let the ACLU mess with Christianity, please--or any other religion. We are a free country with freedom to believe what we want. I don't believe we need a religious police force or a group of GOD COPS censoring our spirituality. Amen...

    The name of this cemetery is St. Micheal's. It lies on the sloping side of a low moutain on the south side of Bethlehem Pennsylvania. This was the side of the town where the mill stood. It was the side that the workers lived on as you can see by the row homes in the picture. As the plant closed and the jobs disappeared many families were forced to leave. Shops and lunch counters closed with no noon rush to keep them open. The south side became run down, buildings sat empty and this cemetery was neglected and vandalized. Behind where Evans stood to shoot this image, the graves continue up into the tree line. Many do not contain a word of English, baring testament to the various ethnic groups that had come here to work at the steel. Some, such as a plain cross cut from sheet metal show just how hard some people were struggling.
