Name: Benjamin Hallet
Location: West Yarmouth, MA
Date: 1821
Carver: Nathaniel Holmes
Benjamin died at age 6, less tha 2 months after his brother Calvin did at 7.
They are buried next to each other, under stones done by the same carver.
His epitaph reads:
Weep not for me, whose little glass
Has spent its sparkling sand so soon;
I've closed this cheerless life to pass
A brighter near a Saviour's throne;
His brother's epitaph reads:
Weep not for me, whose spotless soul
Has wing'd its flight to realms on high;
Above the peal of sorrow's knell-
Beyond its agonizing sigh;
