  • Robert and Sarah Johnston and Their Daughters

    Robert and Sarah Johnston had two daughters who died within weeks of each other in 1848, doubtless of the same disease. Each was given a splendid tombstone in the engraved-title-page style that was popular for expensive tombstones in the 1840s.

    Robert and Sarah themselves got this rich pink obelisk. Their son Robert and his wife are buried next to them.
