The artistry of stone carver Nick Miller is found in cemeteries throughout northwest Arkansas. The tombstones he made, which remain crisp and legible well over a century later, employ the mourning symbols of his time: clasping hands, weeping willows, lambs, and doves. Yet Miller’s bas-relief motifs and deeply incised lettering exhibit a level of skill and detail not generally found among contemporary carvers.
