This photograph documents the grave of Lieutenant Winthrop Carter, identified on his headstone as a 'Soldier of the Revolution,' who died in 1808 at the age of seventy-two, alongside his wife Susannah Eastman Carter. The presence of a small American flag marker suggests the grave had been formally decorated, likely as part of a patriotic society's ongoing effort to identify and honor the resting places of Revolutionary War veterans. Though catalogued within a twentieth-century photographic archive, this image reflects an enduring American tradition of commemorating early military service across generations. Project: 218319
