Cloverville Cemetery Stone #12 James McAmis Inscription: Memorial of James W. McAmis DIED Sept. 29, 1892 IN THE 20^th YEAR OF HIS AGE Material: White Marble Condition: The stone is fairly progressed in its surface erosion, although the inscription is still visible through some staining and the obvious deterioration of the inscription. There is little information extant on James McAmis, aside from the fact that he was a farmer and member of the Church of England. The open bible motif was a popular form of ornamentation with its obvious symbolic allusion to piety and biblical literacy. Peter Hill (edited by Christopher Greencorn) [ Back ]
