Hout Parents Grave Monument

This is a late 19th century grave marker at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It was carved from a better grade of stone as it is still quite legible compared to other monuments nearby that are as much as a decade or two newer. Like many upright slab monuments of its type, the metal tenons that helped anchor and support the headstone to it's plinth have failed and it now leans against it's base.
