Transcription notes:
- Stone is cracked diagonally and heavily covered in yellow-orange lichen; some text is uncertain.
- "Argyle-shire" = Argyllshire (also spelled Argyll), a historic county on the west coast of Scotland, including many island communities.
- Calculated birth year: 1857 - 63 = approximately 1794.
- The hand-pointing-to-book motif ("fides et manus") is a distinct Victorian funerary carving style.
- In the background an obelisk-style monument is visible, consistent with a rural PEI cemetery.
- Top panel text is severely obscured; the phrase may be "Fear God... I ... [faithful/baptised/obedient]... keep [me/thee]" — not transcribed with confidence.
- Stone is white limestone or marble; the setting appears different from the Isle of Mull stone (different vegetation and horizon), suggesting a different cemetery or a different section.
