1970; also first plate records seven children aged at death, respectively: 6
months, 1 hour, 4 years, 22 years, 21 years, 24 years and 19 years. Set imme-
diately east of tomb base is an engraved plate giving information on those
recorded on the monument. A simple design, but unusually records a 200 year
