- Summary
- A grave marker for William Edward Boisseau, 1869-1871, and Charles Benjamin Boisseau, 1871-1872. A young angel walks, wearing only a draped cloth over the lower torso which is held with the proper left hand. On the front top of the garment are some objects, perhaps plants or flowers. The proper right hand is outstretched, as if dropping something on the graves. The angel walks on a pile of stones, with a vine and an inscribed scroll on the front. The sculpture is mounted atop a short, square-shaped base.
