Findagrave (see below) notes that Mr. Punches's brother, Samuel J. Punches, is buried here, but has no headstone. There is a missing panel on the monument: It could have been for Samuel, it could have been decorative.
This monument is of a fairly common variety, with the family name, "Punches", on the front plinth. Below a mourning dove is:
Adelia D.,
Wife of
R.A. Punches,
Born
March 6, 1863,
Died
Oct. 19, 1897.
---
Panel two reads:
Richard
A.
Punches
Born
Oct. 8, 1846,
Departed
This Life
June 2, 1916.

As mentioned, a panel is missing, while the final panel has a figure holding a book, arm raised as if speaking, followed by an epitaph:
O, for the touch of a
vanished hand,
And the sound of a voice
that is still.
