We’ll admit up front that this is no beautiful natural scene, and that it is obviously a cemetery.
Your job is to determine where this cemetery is located. Use your imagination and come up with the right answer. Send your idea to elliott@brack.net, and tell us your hometown.
First in with the right answer to the most recent Mystery Photo was Lindsay Borenstein of Atlanta, who recognized a sculpture in downtown Suwanee, on the Suwanee lawn. The photo comes from George Graf of Palmyra, Va.
Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill adds: “This is the Mommy statue in Suwanee. Artist Lee Benson designed this based on the way little kids draw their mothers and, in particular, on a drawing by his granddaughter, Reese Benson. This 9-foot tall piece is powder-coated steel and weighs about 400 pounds. Benson is Art Department chairman at Union University in Jackson, Tenn. Here’s the front side of the artwork.” Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. also identified the work.
SHARE A MYSTERY PHOTO: If you have a photo that you believe will stump readers, send it along (but make sure to tell us what it is because it may stump us too!) Send to: elliott@brack.net and mark it as a photo submission. Thanks.

Three Gwinnett County Police officers were off duty at a Suwanee softball field on March 13, 2023, when they found themselves saving the life of Scott Corley, retired Dekalb County fireman. On April 13, the Button Gwinnett Chapter of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) honored Sergeant Jeff Legg, Master Police Officers Thomas Rodriguez, and Coty Steward by presenting them with SAR Heroism Medals and Certificates.
Officers Legg, Rodriguez and Stewart were off duty at George Pierce Park, when Scott Corley was found unresponsive and reported to have no pulse. The officers shocked Mr. Corley twice with a defibrillator and applied CPR for some 13 to 14 minutes to save his life. In the presentation awards, Button Gwinnett Chapter President, Thomas L. Jacques, noted it is an honor to award the SAR Medal of Heroism to the three “in recognition of their outstanding actions to save the life of another, thus, exemplifying the high ideals and principles which motivated and sustained our patriot ancestors.”
