Inscription
Four sided monument, Thomas Bennett Gibson on one side, Emily Ann Holland Gibson on the opposite side.
Front:
Father and Mother
His side:
Relentless sweeps the stroke of fate,
The strongest fall.
Death leaves to its eternal rest,
The weary soul.
Her side:
Her children arise up and call her blessed,
her husband also and he praiseth her.
Prov. 31-28.
