in Memory of
William Gordon
Who Departed this life
April the 26th, 1812, in the 67
year of his age.
Our old friend the Master of the Curly G is instantly identifiable here. He does not have an opportunity to show off his distinctive lower-case G, but his other peculiarities are instantly apparent: the sunburst, his habit of beginning the inscription with a lower-case letter, the distinctive lower-case a, the exaggerated curl of the 2, the swooping tail of the 7, and a number of other quirks you may discover for yourself by comparing his work here with his tombstones in the Robinson Run and Union cemeteries.
If you enlarge the picture, you can see that this craftsman actually incised rules in the stone to guide his lettering. He seems to have goofed a bit and missed leaving a blank half-line after the name of the deceased, but at least his lettering is mostly straight.
