This stone is a pocket stone the slot is under the stone, when you place the stone in the slot you can no longer read the age. We left the stone standing in the slot.

Feb 12, 1890

The side of the stone reads..

God in his wisdom has recalled

The boon his love has given

And though the body moulders here

The soul is safe in heaven

James the husband of Mary and Martha was the last known burial in the cemetery he was born Feb 12, 1840 and died Apr 26, 1908 his grave was never marked. I believe he intended for his name, birth and death dates to be added to Martha’s stone, at least I think they should be so he would not forgotten and there is room on the other side of the stone.
