60 ft. high Vermont granite monument on 85 ft.diam. plot; Rhode Island granite
statues, North Carolina  granite sidewalks, Stone Mtn. Georgia granite curbing,
Vermont granite urns with the designers patent number inscribed in the front of
each.  Daniel Moriarty and his wife Mary Farrell were both immigrants from Ireland.
He is buried in a vault under grass mound.  Four statues are : Faith, Hope, Charity
and Memory (who holds a wreath of immortelles) but lore sometimes says the fourth is
Mrs. Moriarty.  The tallest in Metairie Cemetery, the statues are life size
and the cross from the arms down is high enough for a man to stand under.
