The particularly handsome gravestones of our Uncle Robert and Aunt Zipporah Chappell Stillman lie right at the western edge of the Beech Hill Cemetery, which made them rather hard to photograph. Couldn’t stand far enough away.
I can make out a word here and there in these verses. If you can do better, please get in touch. But I’ve yet to see a piece of 19th-century funerary poesy that’s worth the trouble.

1The star above Aunt Zipporah’s stone belongs to her distinguished father-in-law, Lieutenant John Stillman.
