I acquired management of this memorial from Find-A-Grave user P. Meado. She listed the inscription as "Thomas Son of R & M Barry". She noted that the marker is hard to read, and the dates were uncertain. Her initial dates from the marker were Birth: Dec 28, 1869, and Death: Apr 28, with an illegible year.
Judging only from the zoomed headstone photo, with knowledge of the Barry Family, my guess for the text is:
THOMAS F.
SON OF
R. & M.
BARRY
BORN
OCT 28, 1869
DIED
APR 28,
1874
I am also not certain of these dates.
I suspect that this Thomas is the son of Richard and Mary Barry. Around 1870, Richard and Mary lived near Jerseyville, where this cemetery is located.
Barry family history includes a son Thomas who died at a young age. I do not have exact dates for his birth or death. This son's middle name was probably Francis.
Richard and Mary Barry are listed in the 1870 census for Jersey County. Included are three known children who lived to adulthood. A fourth and youngest child appears to be Thomas F., aged 10 months. The census form is dated August 10, 1870.
The census form is not completely accurate. For example, the birthplace of Thomas (and his siblings) is listed as Ireland. Richard and Mary were born in Ireland, but their children were born in Illinois.
If the census listed Thomas's age correctly, he was born around October 1869. "Oct" could match the birth month on the headstone. From studying the zoomed photo, I am guessing a death year of 1874.
