Carvers: Alpheus Cary
There are four Eastern Cemetery stone carvings attributed to Alpheus Cary (1788–1869). He worked in the Bartlett Adams shop in Portland, and the carvings are hard to discern from that of his master though he was only a journeyman.
A list is below. The names are linked to the image on Flickr where available.
- Mary Green, died 1807, plot L-47, unusual shape, deeply incised winged face with draped floral bunting and ribbons (photo on her Find a Grave page)
- Eliza Hayden, died 1806, plot L-79, urn and willow
- Priscilla Slater, died 1806, plot F-174, woman in full-length dress with ship anchor
