The polished grey granite Broken Column memorial has a broken cylindrical column on two polished granite cube base blocks on faced granite slabs. At the bottom of Louis' inscription is a faint musical score with the lyrics of an unfamiliar song, which are included in the following transcription:
In Ever Loving Remembrance

Love couldst only tell thee how
Dear oh loved thou art
________________
FAY GEHDE
Wife of the above
Died June 21st 1959.
An Ancestory.com search shows that Henry Thomas Gehde, son of August Gehde, married Fanny Edgeworth, in 14th April 1904, in New South Wales.
Henry Gehde, so he would have only been married 18 years at the time of his death.
