Sedgwick Pie

“Have you ever seen the old graveyard up there in Stockbridge? In one corner is the family’s burial place; it’s called the Sedgwick pie. The pie is rather handsome. In the center Judge Theodore Sedgwick, the first of the Stockbridge Sedgwicks and a great-great-grandfather of Edie’s and mine, is buried under his tombstone, a high rising obelisk, and his wife Pamela is beside him. They are like the king and queen on a chessboard, and all around them like a pie are more modest stones, put in layers, back and round in a circle. The descendents of Judge Sedgwick, from generation unto generation, are all buried with their heads facing out and their feet pointing in toward their ancestor. The legend is that on Judgment Day when they arise and face the Judge, they will have to see no one but Sedgwicks.” —Excerpt from an interview of John P. Marquand, Jr., Cosmopolis: The Hidden Agenda of Modernity, Stephen Edelston Toulmin, Stephen Toulmin

Below is the center of Sedgwick Pie with Theodore Sedgwick’s grave on the left and Pamela Sedgwick on right and the rest of the Sedgwick family in circles around this center. Mumbet’s grave is included in the first circle, showing how she was regarded as part of the Sedgwick family by being placed next to Catharine Sedgwick.
