Name: Benjamin Bangs Esq.
Location: Brewster, MA
Date: 1814
Carver: George Hope
Let's see...what we have here is a mourner at the tomb, surrounded by cherubs which they are oblivious to. The carver was a British expat.
The epitaph:
Cold in the dust this perish'd heart must lie,
But that which warm'd it once shall never die
That shall resist the triumph of decay,
When time is o'er, if worlds have pass'd away
Shall beam on joy's interminable years,
Unveil'd by darkness - unassuag'd by tears.
