This is a fairly standard issue short obelisk, with the typical floral detail throughout. The family name, "Blackwell", is on the front panel, and below a sheaf of wheat is:

J.W.
Blackwell,

-*-

Born
Aug. 24, 1839

Died
Apr. 25, 1888


A wreath of flowers, a cross with flowers, and a hand pointing Heavenward are on the three remaining long sides, and below them on the panels are epitaphs:

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.

How desolate our home,
bereft of thee.

Gone from our home,
but not from our hearts
