The Raul family plot in the Easton Cemetery in Easton, Pennsylvania, includes the gravestone of Harry Lewis Raul, sculptor.  Raul was a member of the Fellow of the Royal Society of Artists, and his works can be found in the D.C. area and in many cities, museums, and private collections. That includes several sculptures in the Easton area, including a memorial to the sailors and soldiers who served in WWI in the Wilson Borough.

The Raul family plot also includes a sculpture titled “The Guardian” created by Harry Lewis Raul himself. 

The statue is a stylized angel standing guard with the Biblical verse below emblazoned on the face of the shield.

HE THAT DWELLETH

IN THE SECRET

PLACE OF THE

MOST HIGH

SHALL ABIDE

UNDER THE

SHADOW OF THE

ALMIGHTY

FOR HE SHALL

GIVE HIS

ANGELS CHARGE

OVER THEE

TO KEEP

THEE IN ALL

THY WAYS.

Psalm 91: 1-11
