Son Of Henry & Tobitha Hoskins
(Thank you to user #47057707 for the following because it was very hard to read the broken stone when I was there and I went with 1888 - The mother, Tabitha Warren Hoskins, was born in 1833 and had children born from 1852 to 1874. I believe that the dates are actually 1868, not 1888. 6's and 8's can be hard to read after many years of weathering. She had a 14 year old son die in 1878 and he was buried in Pelahatchie Cemetery where her mother-in-law was buried a year earlier in 1877. Why, if it's 1888, would she have a son then buried in Ragan Cemetery. Also, she would have been giving birth at age 55. The earlier date of 1868 makes more sense since Pelahatchie Cemetery was not available in 1868 and she was in her child bearing years.)
