S/O Martin & Mary Jane "Bowles" Mahaffey (Mary d/o Anderson & Emily "Muncy" Bowles).

When I took this stone pic in 2013, it appeared that someone had put it back together. Hence, all the cracks etc. It was hard to read but was able to get dates & inscription.
From a story by Minnie Mahaffey Burch that was related in 2019 by contributor Denise Beagley:
There was a bad thunderstorm & William went out to the field to bring the family horses into the barn. He took shelter under one of the trees when lighting struck & killed him..
