The name is clearly May Baggs on stone, but on the headstone of her son
William immediately beside hers, the surname is spelled BEGGS.
The inscribed surname may be an error, or a variant or original spelling (see Robert Baggs, in which the memorial name has been changed to Beggs) however given that all her children, as well as her son who predeceased her, use the spelling "Beggs", it is used here.
She was the first wife of Robert Beggs. After her death he married Charlotte Richie.
