As we were walking the cemetery and came across the grave site of J. Frank Beck who was born in Oconee County, Georgia, in 1834 and passed away in 1909.
This was a first for us to discover a faithful companion also interred with his owner. Little is known about Frank's Faithful Dog; he must have been loved and cared for by Frank and Agnes, Frank's wife.
The sculpture is in the lower section of the grave stone and is very well done, artist unknown. It looks like a Golden Retriever.
