This is the obelisk that is located only a few inches away from the tablestone grave of the Reverend Mair shown in the previous post. It looks lovely in the sunshine but has a very sad message.
This is the text:
To
the memory of
Agnes Ritchie
who died 1st December 1842
aged 2
Susan Ritchie
who died 2nd December 1842
aged 2.
They were loved
in their lives and
in death not
divided
I came to the conclusion that Agnes and Susan must have been twins and died from some contagious disease both had caught. Their parents (no mention of who they were) erected this most impressive obelisk to commemorate them.
