The Grave of Tubalcane
This is an interesting
gravestone that Freemasons should know well! It's not really the grave
of "the widows son", i.e. "the first well-known artificer of brass and other
metals" that we as Masons know so much about. This Tubalcane most-likely
never became a Mason as he passed away at the tender age of 17, a month shy of
his 18th birthday. Most men are not eligible to be initiated into
Freemasonry until they are 21. I'd bet that his daddy was a Mason, hence
the name. If so, he most-certainly would have become a Mason and given
his Lodge some bragging rights! Now, in all honesty, you can say
that you've seen the grave of Tubalcane!
