This small, two-sided headstone has notes of a floral pattern that are common to zinc monuments. A lamb is below the inscription:

Anderson,

Died Oct. 18, 1882,

On the plinth is an epitaph:

She sleeps beneath her native earth,
And near the spot that gave her birth
Her youthful feet trod flowers that bloom
In beauty o'er her early tomb.

The reverse of the headstone features a cherub, with eyes closed, and an additional epitaph on the plinth:

Sleep on, my sweet Lula! Sleep! So
early gone;
To Earth a child is lost, to Heaven
a cherub born.
