This headstone is located in Kaylor Ridge Cemetery along OH-514 in Holmes County, Ohio
The headstone reads
George W.,
Son Of
John & Caroline
Schafer
Died June 22, 1888
Aged 13 yrs, 6 mos, 15 dys.
Above that it reads
Asleep in Jesus,
blessed sleep,
from which none
ever wakes to
weep.
The opposite side reads
Erected
1889
Another side holds the inscription
A precious one from us has gone,
a voice we loved is stilled;
a place is vacant in our home,
which never can be filled.
Opposite to that is written
God, in His wisdom, has recalled
the boon his love had given,
and though the body slumbers here,
the soul is safe in heaven.
