G. Aten Tombstone, Clinton Cemetery


G. Aten, 1818

It looks as though the family of G. Aten could not afford to have a tombstone made by a local craftsman. But this improvised marker has lasted better than most of the professionally made stones in the cemetery, and now that it has passed the two-century mark we may pronounce it an unqualified success.
