Original Inscription.
1820. Erected by Andrew Dempster, Brickmaker, Scouringburn,
Dundee, in memory of his wife Helen Chalmers, who died 23 December, aged 32.
She left this world without a fear,
But for six of family she held so dear;
To supply their wants, O Lord descend,
And to the motherless prove a friend.
