Stone Type

slate

Tympanum

face with ornamentation

Border

The headstone utilizes a two line thin border around the circumference of this stone. While there are two people memorialized on this memorial, they are treated as one. That is likely both due to their close relationship, as well as their relatively closely followed dates of death. The foot stone has a three line, two thin width borders encircle this stone. The first border line is blank and clear. The second border contains hatch marks along its length.

Remark

The two names on the stone are not delineated as to why, but they both passed during the same year. The bottom of the stone is exposed like a tooth without gums.
