The Weeping Woman
The most well known headstone in the Logan City Cemetery carries the title “Weeping Woman” or “Weeping Lady.” Countless urban legends and folktales surround this monument to Emelia Cronquist. Some of these stories tell of a mother weeping for her deceased children, but there are many versions as to why and when she cries. Some say she cries on Halloween, others that she only cries on a full moon or on the 13th of each month. A small sample of these urban legends can be read here. More can be viewed in Special Collections under the call number SCAFOLK008aGr07Bx9a. If you have an urban legend about the “Weeping Woman,” feel free to write it down and submit your version to Special Collections.
