This granite headstone is in amazing condition. It's about right for the early- to mid-20th century, sloped at the top, with flower vases as artwork on each side. The respective organizational emblems are above their personal information, which is separated by a palm leaf, and the family name, "Thigpen", is below, in a box (note the flowers at the corners). The inscriptions read:

Father
Benjamin F.
1859 - 1905

Mother
Mattie E.
1873 - 1930
Was the inscription legible?: Yes
