This one has an accompanying zinc footstone as well. It says:

W.M. Ray,

Born
March 5, 1855,

[Depiction of a wooden cross, wrapped in what appears to be ivy.]

Died
May 8, 1902.

A happier lot than ours and a larger light surrounds thee there.

The monument itself bears the family name, Ray, on both sides, with roses adorning the top perimeter. Face one has a plate with this inscription:

W.M. Ray,

Born
March 5, 1855,
Died
May 8, 1902

O, for the touch of a
vanished hand,
And the sound of a
voice that is still.

Face two features a tablet with the letters HTWSSTKS, which stands for "Hiram The Widow's Son Sent To King Solomon." There's a Freemason, probably of high rank, buried here.

Face three is practically identical to face one, and features another inscription:

W.M. Ray,

Born
March 5, 1855,

Died
May 8, 1902.

How sad our home
bereft of thee.

Face four features the compass and square of the Freemasons.
