Mary and Robert Porteous

Another sad example of children dying while still in their infancy can be read on this stone set into the outside wall of one of the mausolea in the graveyard. The text reads:

Erected
in memory of
Mary and Robert
Porteous who died
in West Linton
Mary aged 3 years
and Robert one.

Be ye also ready

1861
