Urn holds an unfinished memorial for the Nixon family, cut short on the last name and date. Annabella Hanna raised the stone for her father, mother and brother, but the chisel stopped before completing George's death. The gap preserves more than a date; it captures the moment grief overwhelmed the maker.

This monument is erected by ANNABELLA HANNA In loving memory of her father Lieut JAS. NIXON R.N. Who died 29th Septr. 1847 Aged 59 years Also of her mother JANE NIXON Who died 7th March 1854 Aged 64 years. And of her only brother GEORGE NIXON M.D. Who die
