Commentary

[Mason’s name on the front of headstone at the bottom.

The words “father who died” are inscribed on separate bar of stone, which was inserted into a cut-out in the headstone between the words “his” and “at”, presumably, to correct a mistake.

Weathering makes it difficult to read parts of inscription.]
