CHURCHER, RICHARD
Died August 5, 1681, aged five years

The tombstone of a young boy is the oldest in Trinity Churchyard.


Churcher died 16 years before Trinity was incorporated. He was buried in what would become the north churchyard, an area that served as a burial ground in early colonial times.


A bevy of icons symbolize the brevity of life on Churcher’s gravestone: a skull and crossbones, a winged hourglass, an imitation of a seventeenth-century English bedstead carved at the top of the stone -- death allowing rest from earthly labor.
