Presumably, they're sisters, but they could be cousins. Typically, zinc markers for children are small obelisks, headstones, or lamb monuments, so this is rather different for two girls who didn't grow to become teenagers. Classical columns support the cap, which features mourning doves each side, and the family name, "Eyler" is on the front plinth. The front panel has a lamb above this text:
Hattie May
Eyler,
Died March 16, 1899,
Age
10 Y'rs, 6 Mo's, 6 Days.
-----
One short side panel features an ivy-decorated cross, and an epitaph is on the plinth:
Our darling ones hath
gone before
To greet us on the
blissful shore.
-----
The rear panel features a figure clinging to a cross for support, while an epitaph is below the remaining side panel, and they read:
Cathaline
Margarite
Eyler,
Died
July 27, 1898,
Age 3 Mo's, 27 Days
-----
No pain, no grief no
anxious fear,
Can reach our loved
one sleeping here.
-----
There is also a single footstone, featuring a psychopomp.
