     MATILDA

      BORN
   OCT. 8, 1813,
      DIED
   MAR. 31, 1890.

Additional Comments:
West facing, tall sandstone(?) marker located at the edge of the western side 
of the driveway back somewhat towards the center of the cemetery.  There is a 
lengthy inscription underneath the name and dates that I could not read.  

Update:  Feb. 2012:  both of these markers are now east facing instead of west facing.  They were toppled over last summer when a large tree fell on them.  Whoever set them upright again changed the direction that they were facing.
