These last two stones indicate one of the earliest birth dates we have found on tombstones in Garvin County. The double stone says Father & Daughter while the single stone says "Mother we miss the" on the bottom, so we believe the J. Peer on the single stone was the wife of Jacob and was born and died the same years as Jacob? Or is this small stone just an earlier stone for Jacob, and we are wrong about the "Mother we miss thee" on the bottom of it? The stone before that is for Sarah Eaton, daughter of N.C. Mitchell, from what we can read but this could be in error.
