Tom Richardson was a beloved child.
-----------
Robber's Cave
Tom Sawyer's work?

"The robber's cave claimed to have been discovered near Maple Grove Cemetery, and explored by a Jamaica constable, turns out to have been dug by a party of boys, none of whom is over ten years of age, for a play house."

-- Long Island Farmer, October 19th 1894

Sadly the head and one of the legs are not original. The missing head and limb were replaced in 2004 when the monument was restored. The original, in my opinion, was more appealing and was probably a truer likeness to Tom. 

Drowned aged nine.
