This headstone has an interesting duo of ladies head corbels on either side of the stone which appears to support the arch above them. The second head shown has a thinner face and a stern expression. And whilst Charles gets his name on the stone twice, it's Sophia who receives the glowing character reference.
The inscription reads:
Grateful Rememberance of
SOPHIA
The Faithful and Affectionate
Wife of
CHARLES RIGGS
Died July? 7. 1865
Aged 61
Also
CHARLES RIGGS
Husband of the Above
