  1. I went back and checked my photos and there are a number of stones in this particular cemetery by this carver. I am more familiar with John Hartshorn and the Mullicken carvers of the Newbury area but their work was earlier. I would identify this carver as Paul Noyes based on a very similar, identified gravestone for Mrs. Hannah Stacey in Gloucester which is found in the Farber Gravestone Collection. That stone is amazingly similar to this one.
