The monument has the family name on the base on the main face, with flowers just above the base, all around. A Masonic compass and square note that Mr. Allen was a Mason, and there is this inscription:
L.G. Allen,
Born
Dec. 20, 1827,
Died
July 9, 1886
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
The second face features a set of clasped hands, denoting a successful marriage, and on the base is a cross with roses. The third face features a sheaf of wheat, and a crown on the base, perhaps suggesting victory over death at harvest time. The fourth face features a psychopompos and a wreath on the base.
