Love this style of lettering with the very precisely drawn/carved lines in polished Wausau Red granite. Reminds me of the Sime monument across the Mississippi and one hundred miles away near Merrimac, Wisconsin (Sauk County). Not sure how all this happened 120 years ago but it always feels good to wonder about it.

10 October 2022 | Oak Hill Cemetery, Black Earth, Dane County, Wisconsin
Last job of the day, at a cemetery where there is not one monument on level ground, and this one happened to be high on the hill, perpendicular to the slope. With a pretty substantial hosta patch right in front of it. Thanks. Request was to add the final date (2022) for Delores, and against my personal feelings about the matter, also add month and day to all 4 dates. This isn’t too terribly difficult to lay out, but you will notice the serifs on the existing letters and numerals are pointy, so here I am again showing off how I take the time to modify them manually on the stencil, because the stencil-press-stamped characters have stubby serifs. It was a bit challenging on the 3/4” characters, with a twisted spine and gravity pulling me down the hill, but in the end it’s just another job well done that no one besides you will ever appreciate.
