This is a common model, with floral detail throughout, and funeral draping atop the obelisk. The family name, "Williams", is on the front, with a plow on the obelisk shaft, and the panel reads:

Thomas Williams
Born Nov. 13, 1821,

Died May 10, 1875,
Age 54 Years, 5 Mos., 27 Days.

Note the "Faith in Every Footstep 1847-1997" marker affixed to the headstone. These were placed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1997 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of their arrival here in the Salt Lake Valley, and there are many of them to be found throughout the cemetery.

Going around the obelisk, there is a mourning dove to be seen on side two, and the panel reads:
