Butler Arch

This unusual stone is in the Little Compton burying ground in Rhode Island. I've read about gravestones in North Carolina that have cut-out pieces, but I've never seen anything else quite like this in New England.

    One can see a few 19th stones with cutouts, in this NC churchyard: Abbots Creek Primitive Baptist Ch.
