The first of the month is always Theme day for City Daily Photo Blogs. For the month of October the theme is Cemeteries or tombstones.
This is the grave stone of Thomas Haney and his wife Annie, one of Maple Ridge's Pioneer families. They came to Maple Ridge in 1876 and in 1882, subdivided their land to create the town site of Port Haney, the original town core which is now known as Maple Ridge. Haney locals still refer to our town core as Haney.
Please feel free to visit these other City Daily Photo Sites which are also participating in the theme day.

Thanks for the inclusion of an intersting bit of local history
Lovely photo - great angle - and such an interesting tale too.
Is it the perspective or is this cross huge?
PS I prefer Maple Ridge to Haney ;-)
Thanks for the history lesson along with your post. Nice shot too.
Thank you for the photo and the history of the family honored by the monument.
Interesting to read about the history of your city.
Happy Theme Day!
