Hector McFadden tombstone

An unusually elaborate stone by a talented local artisan whose talents would soon be rendered irrelevant by the growth of a more centralized monument industry.

IN MEMORY OF
HECTOR
McFADDEN
Who departed
this life Decr 12th
1834 aged 65
years

He was just
And honest
And a friend
To the poor.

No Christian could ask for a finer epitaph than that.
