While Leaphart’s work most, frequently is the common angels, crosses, and wreaths carved in stone that are usually found on headstones, occasionally he carves full, erect figures. In these cases, his work shows a delicacy and finesse that have brought him and his fa-ther a large proportion of

all the monumental work done here for the past 40 years.
