FATHER
JOHN BURTON
HENWOOD
FEB. 15, 1855,
NOV. 4, 1925.
The white marble segmented-top gravestone of John Burton Henwood in the Oakland Cemetery in Little Rock, Arkansas, displays a caliper. Perhaps this is a nod to his profession–but what profession would that be? Any help?
Gravely Speaking 
I’m a rookie at this, but believe I found John B Henwood as a machinist in the foundry industry according to the 1920’s census. Hope this is helpful.
So nice to hear from my favorite detective! Thank you for the information–this is very helpful. Please drop me an email and let me know where you are and what you are up to!

Calipers . . . that’s the tool.

The one on the gravestone looks exactly like this–thank you.
