Hogg Angel

Another bronze angel of interest to many sculptors is the George Hogg monument. It is one of the earliest bronze sculptures from an American Foundry cast c. 1850. Dr. Felix Brunot and his grandson Felix R. Brunot are notable burials in this lot. Dr. Brunot was one of Pittsburgh's early physicians (1797) and educated as a civil engineer.

Remembered for his humanitarian work during the war, grandson Felix, born in 1820, made a fortune in railroad investments. Mr. Brunot became interested in Indian welfare and Christian education.
