This marker is under a large bush and a climbing rose bush. It is a hand carved rock. Carving barely visible, but enhanced somewhat by chalk rubbing. Upper portion of rock contains writing no longer visible, with the exception of a very faint 2nd line - CO B CSA. Center of rock is what appears to be a carved shield or perhaps heart. Inside the shield/heart are the initials W A & F T Curtis. These initials stand for William A and Frances T Burns Curtis. In the hope someone else can decipher the 1st line of the top section, I am including photos of both sections. Please email me if you have any information to clarify this marker!
