The top is semi-spherical, and the whole monument is trimmed with flowers. The front is the only place with text, while an anchor, a bouquet of lilies, and a cross are on the other faces. Two of the screws on the faceplate are missing their heads, but this marker is in remarkable shape, given its age. At the base is the family name, "Philley," and the inscription is:

Closer to the base is the following:
He has gone from his dear
ones, his children and his wife,
Whom he willingly toiled for
and loved as his life.
Oh God, how mysterious and how
strange are thy ways,
To take from us this loved one
in the best of his days.
