As you can see this stone is not in very good position. Its laying down in the ground and I had to dig around it and I spent about a hour trying to clean it up. I used just plain water and my hand. I left some blood on the stone ( from my hand) and I said "I guess it's a blood relative." I think the stone might be white marble but its so dirty. I am wondering what might be on the back of it. Had a hard time trying to make out the words but this is the gist of it.

It's a shame to leave the stone in that condition. Probably could read it much better if it was cleaned and standing.

His son Cornelius 1789-1885 and grand-son Rev. Cornelius 1823-1902 are buried there along with a lot of other Earle's plus a lot of Lent's.

Would you please let me know if you receive any response from this?

Thank you. Patricia L Stringham,
