SE 15 - SE 16

The limestone headstone on the left (SE 15) is so far undecipherable.

The sandstone headstone on the right (SE 16*) is inscribed:

Sacred to the memory of Isaac, only son of William and Elizabeth Smith who departed this life September 14th, 1819; aged 3 years 3 months and 9 days.

On the far right is a marble post with the letter "S" cut into the top, which is one of four posts defining the space of the Smith Family Plot.

From an e-mail received on 03/03/2009:

I noticed that you listed #14 in the South East section as being undecipherable when in fact this is - William Isaac Smith - born 20 May 1788 and died 27 Feb 1844 (son of Isaac located next to him) - I am also almost sure that #15 is his wife Elizabeth born 20 May 1776 and died 31 July 1856.

Bruce Browne (descendant of the family Smith).
