Ballston Spa Village Cemetery is a wonderfully large and beautiful cemetery. Horton Field (one of the old sections) is particularly beautiful. Obelisks abound, and there are even several sarcophagi. A few interments caught my eye:
Rev. Theodore and Elizabeth Wash Babcock: a pair of sarcophagi, adorned with what looks like a Templar cross. (There's also a reference here to another Babcock being a member of the Knights Templar).
Rev. Deodatus and May Babcock: perhaps the most ornate gravestone I've seen. The inscription is sheltered by a house-like overhang, and above it sit a trefoil and a sun cross (well, whatever the Christian term for a sun cross inspired crucifix is). The writing is ornate; so much so that it's difficult to make out May's maiden or middle name.
