Mr. Francis Christopher Huber

The gravestone for Francis Christopher Huber (b. 1777, d. 1831) shows some serious delamination, but much of the stone is still legible—including the respectful “Mr.”

The badly damaged central carving was once a willow. The secondary decorations, interesting in their own right, are still in great shape.
