The five-part flower element is pretty common, and there's a stone in Fitchburg with the woven basket element also. Park often has "Memento Mori" as part of the tympanum; it's interesting to see it here in English. The use of parentheses <I>(often enclosing an italic phrase)</I> is also characteristic, as is the fleur-de-lis device in the tympanum.<BR/><BR/>After learning to recognize the style at one location it's always a pleasure to see other examples like this from elsewhere.Robert J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12937384579138400443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462946535883846881.post-57268906714601690902008-08-27T09:53:00.000-04:002008-08-27T09:53:00.000-04:00Ooh, thanks for reminding me about Jason Russell. ...Ooh, thanks for reminding me about Jason Russell.

I might add, in the same vein, that Jason Russell's gravestone in Arlington states that he was "barbarously murdered in his own House by GAGE'S bloody Troops on ye 19th of April 1775" with 11 men "who, in Like manner, with many others, were cruelly slain on that fatal day."<BR/><BR/>A bold and dangerous political statement that could have brought down some retribution on the village.Lori Stokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564577844724131369noreply@blogger.com
