Asa Burt 177452 viewsThis deep red sandstone was carved by Solomon Brewer, whom we met in the Union Street and Federal Hill Cemeteries. He carved the fancy double portraits, and the gravestone for the unfortunate Hessian who died by a lightning strike. Solomon seems to have a knack for finding accident victims.
