Tombstone inscription:
William Moyes
May ? 1794 (day was difficult to read)
In the parish of Muclihan Perthshire
Scotland
Died at San Leandro
May 18, 1879
Aged 87 yr 8 days
===========
On the same stone is:
Erected in memory of
William Moyes
From men like him old scolias
grandeur springs
that makes him loved at home
rever'd abroad
Sept. 20, 1883
SUBMITTER'S NOTE:
The word "scolias" above...unsure if that is correct at this time. The cemetery was locked and we took photos and tried to transcribe a few graves which were near the fence.
In addition, there seems to be a discrepancy with his age at time of death; if the dates on his gravestone are correct, then his age at death would have been 85 years rather than 87, which is inscribed on the gravestone. If he indeed was 87 at time of death, then his birth YEAR would have been 1792 rather than 1794.
