Transcription
A double headstone of two matching tablets with scrolled tops and carved flowers in the outer corners, set on one long base; between them, on the base, a small die carries the surname, of which only the first and last letters show in the photographs (the rest is hidden by the tablets at the angles taken):
THOMAS / WILEY / JAN. 1, 18[6]7 / JAN. 12, 1919 | MARTHA / HOWARD / MORGAN / FEB. 19, 187[7] / OCT. 31, 1928
(on the base between them) G[…]E
The third figure of his birth year and the last of hers are worn or hidden by moss.
