The 112-year-old “Turning Angel” monument in the Natchez City Cemetery is a landmark and has been in its spot since it was placed there by the owner of the Natchez Drug Company. The monument commemorates five girls who were killed in a building explosion in 1908. The angel was found Wednesday toppled off its pedestal with one of the wings broken. The damage has been estimated at $40,000. There isn't any linkage to any national protest or movement. The damage was caused by a 20 year old guy who jumped on the monument and rocked it off its base. @alan polk , have you heard about this? I was so sad to read about this.
