    The periodical notes intermen in Row 1:
    :MILES
    :John L., son of P. & Mary Miles
    ::Aug. 30, 1875
    ::Dec. 21, 1914
    :Mother Mary C. N.S. stone
    ::1843-1924
    :Father Evens P. S.S. stone

    It is completely possible that the present memorial documented in Find A Grave with a photo is not the original, that the original had a number of errors in it; or that the transcription done in 1923 was not accurate. Further, the current memorial appears to cover the entire family, whereas the original interment appears to have been marked by separate stones.
