Inscription

In Memory of David L. Pugh, Born Nov. 1, 1848, died July 19, 1899. No pompous marble to thy name we raise. This humble stone bespeaks thy praise. Parental fondness did thy life attend. A tender husband. A faithful friend.

Gravesite Details

David Lee Pugh's stone was cracked off the base, and laying flat on the ground and cracked in 3 pieces, but has since been repaired. His wife, Sarah's headstone was next to his, but it was destroyed. The church did not maintain a record of the stone.
