Her gravestone (and her husband's) were of the "Lulu" type / Cone Hill - Thankful Dean (1784) William Gaston (1787) Isaac Tilden (1792) Elijah Booth (1792) Dorothy Redfield (1797) Aaron and Anna Rowley (1799/1799) The 'Lulu' carvings, a tradition brought by settlers from south-central Connecticut, are mostly found in the Connecticut settled town of Richmond, and do not stray much beyond its borders. Twenty-two of the forty-one stones have epitaphs. The most common epitaph is doggerel verse, either composed by the carver or taken from a printed source. The least common form of epitaph is a personal description of the deceased.
