Anyone with eagle eyes?

I am trying to write down exactly what is said on this stone and not getting very far. Just wondering if we have someone with 20/20 vision around. I certainly am struggling!

Hi

This is what I think it MAY say

RECOTE?
Happy is the Child

E_R_ _ R.  E.  JOHNS
WHO DIED ON THE MSSOI?
MAY 10TH 1911

AGED 2 YEARS & 5 MONTHS

I was wondering if it was a Merchant Steam Ship or something.

I didnt want to influence anyones judgement earlier but I could have sworn I can see the word REGGIE.

I could be wrong....

I can see that... could it be Reggie beloved child of...? My eyesight isn't that good though

[Lambendsor (aka IGS)]

I think it's "Reggie", too.

I don't suppose there is any chance of the old holding over letters and scribbling over paper with crayon trick is there? 

[Vasquez109]

I know its wrong to assume, but most stones have "In loving memory of". It might be that also.

I can see that bit above the Reggie...
