GALLOWAY, Margaret, consort of John, . . . died at "a. in 89th [see photo: it actually says 80th] yr. 'Our Grand-Mother' (On ss with Samuel E. HIBBEN, et al, Eliza Hibben CUMMINGS, Lavina Hibben DILL)."
NOTE: The math doesn't make sense. She was born in 1771 and died in 1850, so she was 79 -- i.e., in her 80th year -- instead of 89.

The poem was not legible in 1998 and most likely has been dissolved by acid rain. McBrides' cemetery book must be in error."
