Inscription is very faded and hard to read. Tried chalking but didn't help. I think on the front is the name Aaron Mest and cannot make out the date and looks like he died at the age of 37 years. On the other side am not sure of the name. It doesn't look like Ursula to me but Angeline and date of death unreadable, age of death shows 71 years. Here are the headstones located in front of the monument reading from the right to the left. ETTIE DIED NOV 11, 1868 AGE 2 YRS 6 M'S & 11 D'S IN MEMORY OF GEO F.
