This is a small headstone, with trim common to these headstones, and a bit of floral decoration, front and center. On the front is:

J.W. Foote,

Born
May 17, 1820,
Departed This
Life
May 6, 1868

Dear Father, with a
reverent hand
This to thy memory
given,
While one by one thy
household band
God reunites in Heaven.

On the reverse of the headstone is a woman, holding onto an anchor, a symbol of hope and strength. Below, on the plinth, is "1883", presumably when this stone was place.
