Transcription
A small upright marble tablet with a rounded top, leaning against the moss-covered stone wall of an enclosure. A lamb lying down is carved in relief at the top. The epitaph is cut in script:
INFANT OF / E. R. & M. J. / HAM / BORN / April 13, 1857 / Suffer the little one[s] / to come [illegible]
The last line is too worn to read beyond "to come"; the words are those of Mark 10:14, "Suffer the little children to come unto me", in some form.
