.the 23 July1870, our Priest. ?  ?
interred in the cemetery of this parish the body
of George Kay, deceased ?  ?  at the Grande Isle ?
At the age of 32 years.   . ?  Joseph Gourdin? and John
Kay.

Too many words I can't decipher.   :( :-\.     Hope this is close to correct.  My French is sketchy, but fun to try.

I can read   'A P Villeneuve'  on the first line.  But I suspect you can too.

 - first line after priest I believe the word is 'undersigned' 

I think the  ? after George Kay says deceased 'before yesterday? (Not sure of that one) at the Great Isle  Michigan

got the 'before yesterday' right then - just can't see 'the day' before.  What are the two words after priest in the first line?
