This is a fairly standard model, with an urn at the top, but it is impressive in size for a young lady of ten years of age. The family name, "Burge", is on the plinth, and the front panel reads:

Hazel,

Died
Jan. 10, 1905,

Age
10 Years,
10 Months.

Our Little
Sun-Shine.

The rear panel features an epitaph:

Those little lips, so
sweet to kiss,
Are closed for-ever
now,
Those sparkling eyes
that shone so bright,
Beneath that pearly
brow,
That little heart that
beat so high,
Free from all care
and gloom,
Are hidden now from
those she loved,
Beneath the silent
tomb.

The other two panels are identical, featuring a wreath of roses.
