Harriet McDougall and William Paterson

This stone which tells a tragic tale of a young wife dead at 26 is set against the wall that separates the graveyard from the Main Street, West Linton. It's to your left when you are entering through the gate on the Main street. The text reads:

In
memory
of Harriet McDougall
wife of William Paterson
who died 7th March 1869
aged 26 years
and
William Paterson
who died 17th March 1917
aged 75 years
