This zinc marker is your standard model, with the floral detail that they have in common. There are four empty ribbons on the plinth on each side. On the front is a sheaf of wheat, with this inscription:

F.M.
Dyer,

Born
Apr. 3, 1838
Died
Aug. 13, 1888

Panel two has this epitaph:

We only know that
thou hast gone,
and that the same
relentless tide
which bore thee from
us, still glides on,
and we who mourn thee
with it glide.

Panels three and four lack text, featuring a funeral wreath and a set of clasped hands.
