Remarks:
The sculpture is a memorial to the artist's wife, Jane, who died of cholera in 1832. Although the sculpture stands in the Old School Baptist cemetery, it is not known if Jane is buried there. The fence was added to the memorial in the twentieth century as a gift from Princeton University. The limestone slab is also twentieth century. The property the memorial is sited on is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The sculpture received funding for conservation treatment in 1996 from the New Jersey Historic Trust. IAS files contain June 1996 conservation treatment Request for Proposal.
