A Pictorial Catalog of
Methodist Episcopal Church
|
This Flag is found on many Methodist graves and its full size version is frequently seen in front of the churches. |
I have found several commemorative flagholders for Methodist ministers. When a flag is present, it is the white flag with the blue corner and red cross as shown above. These flagholders are relatively common. I have found as many as seven of the crosses at lower right in a single small cemetery of maybe 200 tombstones, and as many as that of the older rusty circles in a larger cemetery. Except for two instances of Church of the Nazarene Ministers, I have not so far found many other religious denomination flagholders.

| This rusty Veteran of the Cross Flagholder is with
the older name of Methodist Episcopal Church |
This otherwise similar marker with the crown and cross
uses a newer version of the name, Methodist Church |
 |
 |
| This modern plaque is mounted on the tombstone. | This marker commemorating a Methodist "Preacher"
dates from the 1920s. I have been in small cemeteries where as many as seven of these were present. |
 |
 |
| This is the flagholder version of the above. It says
Clergy in place of Minister. I don't know which is the more recent. |
This Methodist insignia with flame and cross is
engraved on the tombstone. |
