Sarah Ann Devore Tombstone, Peters Creek Baptist Church Cemetery
Sarah Ann Devore died at the age of only 40. Her tombstone is decorated with a cheery little coffin bearing the words, “From whence there is no return.”
This is a new artisan for our collection, whom we shall name the Master of the Bold Modern Capitals for his distinctive adoption of fat lettering imitated from the “modern” types of the early nineteenth century, especially obvious in the very bold letters of the word “DIED.”
