A dove of peace is at the top on the front of the headstone, flying above a ribbon and the word "Hope". In its place on the three other sides are flowers, possibly morning glories. There is a decorative ribbon around the perimeter below the dove and flowers, and the family name, "Jordan", is on the plinth. The inscription reads:
Sidney

Born
July 24, 1886

How desolate
our home
bereft of thee.
