CHILES

The obelisk is 33 feet high, with three tiers of base, with drooping flowers on the corners of the central stone.
The obelisk was probably erected whe the family plot was purchased in 1906. This was caused by the daughter dying before her parents. She was 28.

The link below is for the father's grave site on Find-A-Grave, and you can see all the children listed as buried around the site, as well as his wife.
