Stephen Champlin-- Part 3

In the rear of the Champlin plot are the actual stones for Stephen, Minerva and her parents.   Each lies flat  along the ground and because they are badly weathered in spots, are sometimes difficult to read.  The stones from left to right, are inscribed:

Ralph M. Pomeroy died Jan. 6, 1863 in the 55th year of his age.  (Cemetery records give the date of death as being July 26, 1862 but this  may have been the date when his body was buried  in the Champlin plot.

Lydia P. died  September 1, 1872

M.L.C.  (no other inscription)
