The Art and Architecture of Death

Henry Huls Snr. Tombstone, Peters Creek Baptist Church Cemetery

- Posted in Peters Creek Baptist Church Cemetery by

A newly identified work by the Master of the Robinson Run Reliefs, all of whose trademarks are visible here: the thistle decoration flanked by flowers, the fan patterns in the corners, and even the curled tail on the top of the lower-case g in age. Henry Huls was a private in the Revolutionary War; he is identified here as having served in the Washington County Militia, but that could only have been in the last few months of the war, since Washington County itself was formed in 1781.
