Soldier of the Revolution

77 years of life (almost 78) is not a bad number for an 8-year Soldier of the Revolution born in 1756, but he lasted less than 2 years after losing his wife Emilia (68 years). Northeast Burying Ground, Wolcott, CT. November 18, 2017, 4:04 PM.

The cemetery in Amlwch has a gravestone in the form of a lighthouse. It is for Thomas Cunningham, who had worked on a lighthouse in Shanghai, China, for 30 years, and retired to Anglesey. He was originally from Liverpool. It is very detailed, even with an iron ladder up the side to the doorway.

“The Kiss of Death” from Poblenou Cemetery, Barcelona. An inscription reads: "So his youthful heart is fading. In his veins his blood is freezing, and all strength has slipped away. Faith is leveled as he falls into the arms of Death. Alas!” Photo: Stephan Harmes.

Gentleman in the snow, well preserved detail on a gravestone in Berwickshire. The symbols either side of him could be flames, a representation of eternal life. Lower down can be seen an hourglass on its side, time is running out, a classic mortality symbol.

1774 US Gravestone outside the Waxhaw Church in South Carolina. Engraving. Lettering. Serif. Lower and upper case. Small Caps. Vertical stroke for 7 and 4. End of the R leg has a cute little kick that doesn't quite reach the baseline. Some fun proportions.
