The family name, "Shipman", is on the plinth of this very common "Gates of Heaven" style headstone -- note the cross and the crown -- with this inscription:

Mary S.

Wife of
A.T. Shipman
July 11, 1855
Jan. 18, 1912

Below the Woodmen Circle on the reverse of the monument is this epitaph:

In life, she was
all she should have been
A loving wife and
mother, A child of God,
And to every one,
a friend
Was the inscription legible?: Yes
