I’ve decided to play a game with myself. I’m going to search my photo archives for tombstones with large capital letters and find the entire alphabet.

This epitaph tears me up inside. You know it was selected in an attempt to rationalize and understand the death of a young child.

Time flies, death urges, heaven invites

Time flies; death urges; heaven invites,
All things call; In effort all
Can mortals then so finely sleep,
An walk unmooved between the tombs

How did he die?

Even though it’s mostly worn away, you can tell that below G.W. Wing’s name, there was information about what unit her served in during the Civil War. Even if that information wasn’t on there, I have only ever seen the flag that is carved above his name on the graves of soldiers. The interlocked rings probably symbolize membership in a fraternal organization. He also died during the war, on October 1, 1863, but the tombstone doesn’t tell us how. Statistically, it’s likely he died of disease, but without more information, I’ll probably never know.
