Black and white image of a tall, urn-topped, multi-tiered Victorian-style gravestone for Richard Childers Walker (1832-1859). Background consists of largely leafless trees and a low stone wall.

Closeup of epitaph quoted in post. "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep. From which none ever wakes to weep. A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes." At the base of the pedestal bearing the epitaph are spindly, skeletal remains of plants.

"Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep.
From which none ever wakes to weep.
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes."
