Everyone has been a bit quite in recent months. Lets see those pictures of symbols that you still do not know what they mean. Or feel free to start a new discussion above in the "discussion forum"!

Dr. Chauncey Sheldon, moved to Warsaw, NY in 1808. He was a physician and started a Drugs and Medical store and was know as a "professor of religion." He was Presbyterian.

MS: what's the locality and likely religion?
The sun is probably about resurrection, the triangle can be the Trinity, and 6-point-star can be good and evil, or natural man/spiritual man.

Also, an upside down triangle is sometimes used to signify a male - the broad shoulders and narrow waist. Based on the name, this would work.

The "lamp" is actually a funeral urn.

Sorry for the multiple posting, I have not figured out how to put a comment with the photo. I understand the willow in the photo means sorrow and is Germanic in origin, not sure about the "lamp", and interested in the Star of David inside the Triangle. Thank you.

MIchael, your photo did not show up. Can you try re posting in a discussion forum.
