Headstone text (optional):
The monument has floral decoration throughout, and on the main face is the family name, "Babcock," with the following inscription: Marvin Babcock, Born Oct. 8, 1833, Died Apr. 23, 1872. Remembered Still. Face 2: Mary T., Wife of Marvin Babcock, Born Mar. 2, 1841, Died Dec. 23, 1891. Ever Remembered The third and fourth faces feature something seen on many zinc headstones. I'm not quite sure what that is. It looks like a rope of flowers of some kind. Clarification is welcome. Additionally, each has their own zinc footstone, saying "Father" and "Mother" respectively.
