It looks like this sharply peaked, grey headstone is formed from a sheet of shale. It is surrounded by a low wrought iron railing; and stands beside another thin 'slate' headstone, that is most likely of Susanah's father, which has a Masonic square and compass symbol on it. Susanah's headstone reads:

SACRED
to
the Memory of
SUSANAH
The Beloved Child of
JAMES and SUSANAH NELSON
Who Died of Bronchitis
July 12th 1864,
Aged
11 months
*
Tender and young my days have been,
From earth I am removed:
Christ took me from parents dear;
To dwell with Him above.
