Amasa Brainard
c. 1963

An aged memorial stone rubbing featuring an oval portrait at the top with a weeping willow and a figure, surrounded by an ornate border. Below the image is an inscription dedicated to the memory of Amasa Brainerd Jr., detailing his death from a mortal wound caused by a weight from the bell on April 27, 1798, in his 20th year. The text is in an old English font, and the paper shows signs of wear and discoloration.
