    Description: 
    Full-length female figure of an angel holding a small child. The angel wears a long robe and has folded wings. She holds the child in her proper right arm. The child faces outward, and has its proper right hand raised. The stone sculpture stands atop a tall monumental shaft. The corners of the mid-section of the shaft are carved in relief as round columns. The shaft ends in a granite base. A round pedestal protrudes from the center bottom of the shaft. A full-length portrait of Bertha Isabelle Cleveland, shown as a young girl holding a book and flower, originally stood on the pedestal, but is now missing.
