Description
Monument in the Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio. Believed to be eith the Archangel Gabriel or Michael, he stands ominously over the grave of John Hay (1839-1905), former secretary to President Abraham Lincoln and U.S. Secretary of State under President McKinley. The inscription on the tablet beneath the sword and snake reads as follows: "The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace". This monument was sculpted by James Earle Fraser, who completed it 9 years after Hay's death, in 1914.
