Noveller & Redic Medearis -- Williamson Creek Cemetery, Austin TX - Homemade Tombstones on Waymarking.com

This sculptural homemade dual tombstone for two children is shaped like a hand pointing above, a familiar 19th century funerary symbol meaning the loved one is enjoying eternal life with God in Heaven.

This tombstone was made for siblings Noveller & Redic Medearis. It stands on the east side of the deeply historic Williamson Creek Cemetery in Austin TX, which has served as a burial ground for Austin's former slaves and their descendants since 1847.

The tombstone is made of local limestonee. Vital information is hand-inscribed with a sharp tool, perhaps chisel.

The tombstone reads as follows:

"[L side]

NOVELLER MEDEARIS
