High above the Schuylkill river above Kellydrive is Laurel Hill cemetery, on a hill is a monument of a woman holding two babies, it is known as Mother and twins.

The story behind the statue is that at this spot on the river two young boys drowned in 1855, two years later the young mother died , heartbroken.

Her husband, Henry Domoghowski Samuels, a world class sculptor, created this silent monument to his wife and children, he left for Poland never to return.

To the people who are familiar with this area, the monument is known as the "Crying Mother", and here is one story why;

In the sprng of 1985, amature photographer Amy Morgan was taking photographs of the numerous cherry trees that are along this part of the river, she had in tow her 5 year old son, as she was checking out a shot through her view finder, Amy heard a woman crying, a figure passed through her view finder very brief and very quickly, when she looked up in the direction where she thought she had seen the figure go, there was nothing there, but she saw her son dangerously close to the river, one slip and he would have been in the river's swift currant

Is the weeping Mother keeping watch over children in that particular area, Amy thinks so. .
