Caleb Pickman
Gravestone of Caleb Pickman from Gravematters
Charter Street Burial Ground, Salem
...you know Pickman comes of old Salem stock, and had a witch ancestor hanged in 1692. (“Pickman’s Model”)
Poor little Nat [Nathaniel Mather, younger brother of Cotton] died at 19 – I have seen his gravestone in the old Charter St. Burying Ground at Salem. His fortunate escape from life came in 1688, and his epitaph (a tribute to his prodigious learning) reads with unconscious pathos – ‘An Aged Person who had seen but 19 Winters in the World’. (Letter to Robert E. Howard, 4 October 1930)
“HERE LYES INTERRD THE BODY OF MR CALEB PICKMAN WHO DIED JUNE 4th, 1737 (BEING STRUK WITH LIGHTNING) AGED 22 YEARS. My times are in thy hand, O Remember my Life is Wind.”
And Justice For All..?
Reference to the fact that the gravestone in the original clue is that of one of the Salem Witch Trial judges, Colonel John Hathorne..?
