Inscription


[There is no inscription on this remnant of a marker.

The cemetery was cataloged in 1943(5?) in the referenced work. In that catalog, Amos Pinkham is listed after Lizzie Beal and Luis Diaz and before Edwin R. Hill. The markers are listed in the order in which they were encountered, so it is likely that this marker is for Amos. Also, there are no other unidentified stones in the area so I have concluded that this marker belongs to Amos.

The referenced work records the inscription as follows:]

Amos S. Pinkham
Nov. 8, 1883
a. 50 y. 9 m.
