Border: This double memorial for the husband and wife are identical in design. There are three, thin width borders on each side of this stone. Each sides first border is the outermost and it runs alongs the dome of this part of the stone and then slides down the outside edge. The second border originates and terminates within the tympanum. It runs between two spools located along the base of the tympanum. After going along the dome, it hops over the stars at the extreme sides of the tympanum. The third border originates and terminates with the two spools on either side of the face. Both tablet sections are bookended by illustrated side panels run around three sides of the tablet sections. The continuous tableau are but into five self contained panels. Each panel design utilizes spools set in complementary juxtaposition to each other.

Remark: The face in the center is an early rendering with an oval, elypse type shape and basic shapes (i.e. circles and lines) forming the facial details. There are two, six armed stars in the corner. Three more are positioned at the stone's three shoulders.
