This two-sided marker is in excellent condition other than some damage at the top, where whatever was there has been broken away. According to Findagrave, Rebecca Ann was Ettie May's mother, but there is no indication as to their relationship with Josephine, who is listed as being the daughter of E.C. and J.T. Lide. The front of the headstone has a pair of clasped hands at the top, with a couple of falling leaves as detail, with this inscription:

Rebecca Ann
Lide,

Wife of J.W.
Lide,

Born May 13, 1833,
Died May 13, 1878

The reverse of the monument is identical, with a knot or a bow in place of the clasped hands, and this inscription:

Josephine

and
