The subjects explored ranged from local fires, floods and cyclones to tragic deaths and misfortune. Also included was a wonderful display on Victorian mourning customs of the nineteenth-century, as well as a large collection of memorial hair jewelry. Local cemeteries were featured and the symbolism of tombstone art was explored. Death was a very familiar part of life in early Clarkston. Our founding pioneers were faced with hardships every day and survival was never guaranteed. But they persevered and built a thriving community that their children could be proud of through many generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ex-10-2-drop.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"355\" height=\"264\" src=\"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ex-10-2-drop.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2126\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ex-10-2-drop.png\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/?attachment_id=2126\" class=\"wp-image-2126\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ex-10-2-drop.png 355w, http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ex-10-2-drop-300x223.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ex-10-3-drop.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"386\" height=\"261\" src=\"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ex-10-3-drop.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2127\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ex-10-3-drop.png\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/?attachment_id=2127\" class=\"wp-image-2127\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ex-10-3-drop.png 386w, http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ex-10-3-drop-300x203.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Death on the Millpond:Clarkston Tragedies, Accidents &amp; Losses This display was unlike anything we had ever done in the past and it proved to be&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2121","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2121"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2121\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2128,"href":"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2121\/revisions\/2128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clarkstonhistorical.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
