Dow - Lithgow General Cemetery - Lithgow, NSW, Australia - Broken Column Headstones on Waymarking.com

This Broken Column memorial is also sculptured from marble, with brass infill inscriptions, and is badly stained. It has a 'laurel wreath' on the column. The base has a tiled cover over the interment area. It is standing vertically.

The 'main' side has the inscription on a sculpture scroll, with a few leaves sculptured on it. It reads:

In Loving Memory of
 My Dear Husband
  & our Father
   David Dow
Native of Scotland
  Died 19th Sept.
      1918
     Aged 61
      Years

On the base, below that inscription, is another message/prose:
"A sudden change in a short time fell
I had not time to bid my friends farewell.
Think it not strange death happens unto all
My lot to-day, to-morrow you may fall."

The dates of: 7 July 1857 - 19 Sept 1918 had been gleaned from 'Googling', and checking cemetery sites

The 'left-hand' side inscription reads:

In Loving Memory of
  our dear mother
 AGNES DOW
Died 24th Nov. 1944,
   Aged 85 years

[24 June 1859 - 11 Nov 1944] was given for Agnes Dow on Googling, so there is a discrepancy somewhere.
