Wednesday’s child: Arthur M. Lindsey


The tablet marker is plain, with a touching epitaph for Arthur M. Lindsey (d. 1849). Someday I will return to get a better photo—in the morning, when the sun will be shining on the face of his gravestone.

ARTHUR M. LINDSEY
Son of Wm. &
Hannah Lindsey
died Apr. 17,
1849
Aged 3 yrs. 6m.
& 27ds.

I take these little lamb
said he, And lay
them in my breast.
Protection they shall
find in me.
In me be ever blest.

Oak Grove Cemetery, Delaware, Ohio
