Description
Emery C. Raper born 1859, died 1873. Saddled ponies are not common tombstone iconography. Taking into context his age (13), this engraving may symbolize a rocking horse or horseback riding as a beloved activity. Montgomery noted an inscription at the bottom of the tombstone (not visible in this photograph): Pool & Clark, Lou, KY. Pool & Clark was a wholesale and retail dealer in American and Italian marble, located in Louisville, KY. Pool & Clark made sculptures, monuments, and headstones to-order.
