headstone tympanum

Sacred
to the memory of
Mr SILVANUS JONES
He died
March 28th 1806
in the 61st year of his age

My children dear
This place draw near
Your father's grave to see
Not long ago I was with you
But soon you'l be with me.

The gravestone displays a trumpeting angel. This gravestone probably was carved by the Lamsons of Boston or Nathaniel Holmes of Barnstable. Other gravestones with trumpeting angels are Susanna Hinckley (1790), Mary Hinckley (1799) and Samuel Hinckley (1804) all in Lothrop Hill Cemetery.
