In Loving Memory of 1876 Nancy Spargur McKeehan 1937
13. To the right of the organ. "St. Augustine of Hippo"
An ornate window, dominated by blue, purple and red glass. St. Augustine of Hippo is depicted wearing Bishop's vestments with a staff, mitre and Bible. "Veritas," (truth) is written on the open book.
St. Augustine was born in 354 in North Africa and died August 28, 430. On that date in 1565, a company of Spanish soldiers landed on the Florida coast and founded the city, named for St. Augustine because land was sighted on his feast day, August 28.
"Te Deum Laudamus," (God we Praise), is written on the top panel with a broken heart pierced by arrows. The glass was signed by Wilbur Herbert Burnham of Boston, MA in 1938.
