The gravestone marks the burial of Abigail Curtis, born February 22, 1718, and deceased August 26, 1726, likely aged eight. Carved from gray slate, it features a prominent death’s-head motif at the apex-a common memento mori symbol in 18th-century New England-and decorative foliate borders flanking the inscription. The stone shows signs of weathering and lichen growth, indicating its long exposure in a historic cemetery.
