(NOTE: The inscription is crudely done. All characters in the inscription are the same height despite the mix of upper and lower case letters. The numeral 4 in the line Aged 84 is inscribed upside down. All N's in the inscription are engraved backwards but I couldn't get this page to accept that character - Ron Stewart)
