Our Pet(s)


These curious stones I found on a hillside, near the Seamans' monument. The stone in the foreground was almost toppled, but now sits at an angle. These stones are copies of each other, with curled cornices and a raised notch, with one difference: a rosebud (the stone in the foreground) and a blooming rose (background) Both have a raised "dog-bone" shaped emblem with "Pet" in Old English Script. The foreground has the inscription on the back of B. Hubbard (1898-99), and the background has E. Van Dyne (1889, aged 9 months). One inscription on the base is difficult to read, but the other is legible. It reads: "What would life Be without You?"
