*The stone was tilted about 30 degrees from vertical with the side of the stone with Isabel's
inscription on the top side. It read:
Sacred in Memory, ISABEL, Wife of Richard B. McCorkle, Died Jan. 7, 1873, Aged 76yr 9mo 7da*
*Her husband's name is not included in any inventory of the cemetery that I have seen, probably because his
inscription was on the back side of her stone, and one had to get down on one's knees to read it.
Her husband's inscription is on the rear of her stone, and it reads:
Sacred in Memory, Richard B. McCorkle, Died Feb. 11, 1854, Aged 62 yr 2 mo 2 da*
