Named here: Edmund Webb Tompkins (17 Jan 1872 – 27 Jul 1906 by Find a Grave), very probably a son of Norida W. Tompkins and Elizabeth Virginia Webb
Transcription
A marble die on a plinth, its top cut as a sloping face (chipped at the upper right corner) with an epitaph in script; on the front of the die, under a carved band of rays, the name in raised letters, arched, then straight; below it, a carved pair of gates standing open in a brick wall (the "gates ajar"):
(sloping top) We loved him in life, / let us not forget / him in death.
(front) EDMUND WEBB / TOMPKINS
No dates are cut on the face photographed; they are probably on another face of the die (inference: Find a Grave gives dates, below).
