Hezekiah Augur

Hezekiah Augur was an American sculptor and inventor. He was self-taught and, unlike many other American sculptors of the 19th century, spent his entire career in New Haven.

Hezekiah Augur was the son of a carpenter and learned the woodcarving trade early on. He later invented a lace loom and a machine for carving piano legs. He then switched to marble.

Hezekiah Augur was a member of the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences.
