It marks the grave of Grace Galloway, who died at the age of 27 of tuberculosis. Galloway, a Jamestown native, had been studying music in Boston when she became ill. She died in Pittsburgh while en route to Ashville, North Carolina for treatment. Her father, John Galloway, enlisted a Pittsburgh artist to create a clay model of his daughter's face from her last photograph. The sculpture was carved in Florence, Italy of Carrara marble using the artist's clay model and the young woman's favorite dress. John Galloway and his son, Fred, both masons by trade, built the base. Gravestone next to sculpture reads: GRACE T. GALLOWAY OCT. 5, 1871 NOV. 2, 1898.
