Transcription
A flat marble ledger on the ground, the face blotched with dark staining and crossed by shadows. The name is cut in raised letters on a ribbon or scroll across the head; the dates below are sunk:
SANFORD A[LL]EN SMITH ENGLISH / BORN FEB. 2[9], 1896 / DIED FEB. [illegible], 1925.
"SANFORD", "SMITH ENGLISH", "BORN FEB.", "1896", "DIED FEB." and "1925" are clear; "ALLEN" is partly hidden by staining, and the days are worn.
