Inscription
"They made him a grave too damp and too cold for a
heart so warm and so true "
Gravesite Details
This is the only nineteenth century tombstone in this cemetery that still marks the grave it was intended for. The arched top has been broken off however, but it is still at
the base of the tombstone. — Vernon Ritter, Rootsweb, June, 2001.
