West of Newberry, the Forrest Home Cemetery holds a peculiar and poignant memorial. It is an old headstone featuring a purple glass bubble.
This unique stone marks the grave of a young girl who passed away many years ago, just six years and six months old. Her grieving parents embedded a photograph of her within the purple bubble.
Local legend claims that the photograph inside the glass has aged over time. While it’s more likely that the image has decayed with the passage of years, the headstone remains a compelling and interesting sight. It serves as a quiet place to pause and pay your respects to the young life lost too soon. The tombstone can be found near the road by the western entrance of the cemetery.
