"He did what he could"
This is the memorial of Edwin Carr who died in 1915. It is an impressive and highly decorated Celtic style cross. The inscription is in the style of the Arts and Crafts movement, and I would say that this is echoed in the carved design on the cross.
I did a quick internet search looking up the name Edwin Carr, as this is a large stone. I found reference to Carr's Fever Powders, for cold and flu. Apparently an Edwin Carr once manufactured these powders in Wharf Street, Leicester.
This stone was found in the Belgrave Cemetery near to Leicester, England.
