On 27 July 1977 I was searching through the Garvock Churchyard and discovered the badly worn gravestone of this family.  My wife Eleanor, John Douglas Low, and I spent an hour and a half attempting to decipher it.  It is noted below.  Items in brackets were unclear, while dots indicate information was illegible.
