DescriptionFamily register is divided into four columns by fluted Ionic columns connected by arches. The arches are occupied by vignettes depicting a man, woman, boy, and girl standing outdoors; a woman kneeling beside a cradle while a small boy looks on; a minister marrying a man and a woman in a church; and a woman kneeling with her hands covering her face, beside a small child and a monument inscribed "I / know that / my Redeemer / liveth." A willow tree is at the left; a lake is in the right background.
