Woonsocket, Rhode Island

Headstone Sculptures:  Mourning angels have been denizens of cemetery environments for as long as there have been headstones, from the colonial era to the present. Fine sculpture like this is reflective of the wealth that poured into New England during the era of water-powered textile mills. Today, the mills are gone, but the angels look as timeless as ever.
