This is another of the more impressive memorial stones in the graveyard, and there are so many family members here that the stone has been divided in two colums to accommodate them all. I will start with the text on the left hand side. Here it is:
In memory of
Marion Dunlop
who died at Abington
8th Dec. 1860
aged 3 years and 4 months
also
John T. Dunlop
who died at Loanhead
11th June 1875 aged 8 years
also
Jessie A. Dunlop
who died at Loanhead
2nd December 1917
aged 56 years
also Jane Dunlop
who died at West Linton
27th January 1947
aged 91 years
also
A. Louden Dunlop
grandson of the said Alexander Dunlop
who died 6th may 1972
On the right hand side of the stone it reads:
Janet Brown
wife of Alexander Dunlop
who died at Loanhead
22nd April 1884
aged 51 years
the above
Alexander Dunlop
who died at Loanhead
25th June 1914(?)
aged 82 years
also
Walter R. Scott M.A.
his grandson who fell
in action near Yeres
12th June 1917
aged 24 years
also
Elizabeth W. W. Dunlop
who died at Glasgow
28th June 1962
aged 90 years
At the foot of the monument sits a black urn which says as best as I can tell:
also his wife (no idea whose wife!)
Polly Wai Seong
Dunlop
nee Tham
died 20 (?) October..............
I try as much as possible not to disturb anything in the graveyard even to read text better but I might give this urn another go in the summer to see if I can ascentain the exact dates on this urn.
