When Francis John French was still alive, he replaced the original stone of his father, Walter E. French, shown above because of its condition. The Frenches are on one side of the stone and the Andrews on the other. The French side seems to be for a family plot as there are four small stones in front of this big stone. The small stones are one for each of the following: Walter, Flora, two children Iva and Bessie who passed away at a young age [8].
