The Monument of the Amiable Child

The little boy was five years old when he fell to his sudden death of the surrounding rocks in 1797.Later when his family farm was sold, his uncle asked that the child's grave remain untouched which miraculously has. for over 200 years, the monument shows as a physical reminder that the whole area was once a farm country. Currently, the old monument stands just northwest of Grant's Tomb of the Riverside Drive and down some steps. Below it's inscription reads, "Erected to the memory of an amiable child, St. Clair Pollock."

~~~~^ Its just incredible that something and many things have lasted this long. Although after generations has evolved and not to mention a new century of technology, skyscrapers, roads and cars that grave site can remain untouched. The word "amiable" titled above means to show pleasant, good-natured personal qualities, loveable and friendly. Apparently ,the little boy was missed greatly because of his much qualities.
