Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: 18thC Straiton tombstone, Liberton Kirk. Richly carved tablestone which bears the following inscription:
"Here lyes interred Mrs. Katharine Hamelton spouse to William Straiton She died October 29 1753 aged 45 years as also William Straiton hir husband breuer and burgess of Edinburgh and fermer in Braid who departed this life February 17 1754 aged 48 years and thre of their children who al died young" Note the figure of the farmer in his Sunday garb holding bundles of corn under his arms and in his hands, presumably signifying prosperity. The furthest pillar shows a skeleton about to cut the cord of a weight dangling above the head of a female mourner. 1406405 |
