This stone is a 7 ft tall obelisk. There are inscriptions on the other 3 sides, but very difficult to read. “A jewel ?????? from earth, ????? ??????? treasury”. On the back side… “Bettie”, then several lines beneath it that could not be read. On the other side, “On earth we've lost one treasure, In heaven we've gained one more”. Also, inscribed on the base of the oblisk is BURT. Bettie H. Bailey married George Edward Burt, CWS f BCV, p. 46. |
