Following the inquest into the death of Assistant Scoutmaster John Augustine, who was killed when his motorcycle collided with a sedan driven by Carl W.

Inscription

Eagle Scout B.S.A.
John M. Augustine
Nov. 25, 1905
Sept. 23, 1925
"A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love has given
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in heaven."
