Elmwood Angel

Manchester, Vermont. I couldn't make out the inscription at the base of the stone, it was the glare of the noontime sun and the fact the letters were so worn down but I've attempted to take a picture of this angel before without success so..I finally managed. At closer inspection, this gorgeous statue is badly in need of repair. There is a fracture in the marble about her waist and up further near her neckline with various other nicks and lines elsewhere. I do hope someone tends to this stone on a regular basis, 'twould be a shame to lose it. One other strange thing, in her folded hands, someone or ones had placed money, quarters, nickels, pennies...perhaps for good luck much in the way of a fountain.
