Mary Maria Colling

The headstone of Mary Philp

 

The headstone from above. Because of the way the stones are closely arranged, it is not possible to take a full-size photo other than at this angle.

The inscription reads:

SACRED
TO
the memory of
MARY.
the Wife of George Philp.
who departed this life.
January the 27th 1811.
Aged 79 Years.

As a tribute of grateful
affection this Stone is erected
by her Grandaughter.
MARY MARIA COLLING.

William Merrifield, mason.
