This short zinc monument is lacking much of the floral trim that is prominent on many like markers. The family name, "West", is at the base (which has a small crack in it), with the following inscription:

Eddie,

Son of
J.H. & M.C.
West,

Born Mar. 18, 1883
Died May 6, 1883,
Age 1 Mo. 21 Days.

A funereal garland is on the reverse, with an inscription:

sleep on my
sweet one!
sleep! so early gone;
to earth a child is lost
to heaven an angel born

The other two panels display a dove and a bouquet of roses.
Date of birth (optional): 03/18/1883

Date of death (optional): 05/06/1883
