Stone #29

Description: Description: [Headstones Photograph]

 

 

Emily M. Angell Whidden

 

Dimensions:  approx. 6’

 

Inscription: Some of the text is now illegible and not recorded at the Antigonish Heritage Museum.

 

In Affectionate

Remembrance of

Emily M. Angell

Loving wife

of

Witter R Whidden

Who fell asleep

December 21st 1878

Aged 38 years.

 

Material: White marble

                                       

Condition: Moss, lichen, and erosion make this stone quite illegible in some places.

 

There is little additional information available aside from Emily’s husband’s obituary in the Casket, which states he was well-respected and that they had five children.

 

There are elaborate vegetal motifs carved into the stone, and the inscription is contained within a similarly natural-looking elliptical shape, which has a top something like a fleur-de-lis.
