This is the front of the McKean memorial. The engravings for Thomas and Thomas Julian/s are on the two sides of this monument (one on each side). There are two very small markers with only their initials - in the ground, one on each side of this large marker (as you can see in this photo).
Engraved on the left side is, 'Thomas Julias son of 'T' and Amanda McKean.. Died Nov 8, 1881 ...age 18 ms 16 ds'
On the right side, the engraving says, 'Thomas...Died Jan 29, 1882. 32 ys, 7 ms and I can't read number of days.
Other than 'McKean', i can't read any name on the front, but it does appear there is something written.
