This short zinc monument is lacking much of the floral trim that is prominent on many like markers. The family name, "Barker", is at the base, with the following inscription:

Lemuel
M.

Son of A.A.
& S. Barker,

Born Apr. 6, 1881,
Died Jan. 23, 1883.

On the reverse, there is a funereal garland on the base, and above it, the inscription:

We miss the
bright eyes
of our
darling child,
and the sweet,
rosy lips that
so oft
on us smiled.

The other two panels feature a dove and two mourning angels.
Date of birth (optional): 04/06/1881

Date of death (optional): 01/23/1883
