There are some reports in newspapers, which explain the circumstances of his death, when he accidentally fell in to the hold of a sailing ship called the Red Deer, as referred to in the second part.

The tomb was erected in 1878 when his wife died, as referred to in the first part

Thank you all so much for this extra info - all very much appreciated.   I hope to go back for a walk to this cemetery soon at some point in next couple of weeks so will have a closer look at the letter to see if it looks 'fixed'.  After this I hope to send the info you have all so kindly provided to the memorial 'managers' on Find A Grave.   :)

I have taken a close up now of the mystery word - it is definitely 'Munerf'.  Close up it is possible to see the second letter is a u and not o.

My 2ps worth . . .

Though it does look like F on the pic, maybe it started off way back then as a different letter?

As I thought, the letters were some sort of metal and you can see the fixing holes left behind when the U dropped off.
At the bottom right of what seems to be an F there is a hole - perhaps it was an R or B or even E and the other part has of the letter has snapped off leaving the fixing hole visible?

Yes, you are right Boo.  It does look like there might be another fixing hole where an F seems to be.  I am no longer at the cemetery to have a closer look but thanks for spotting this.

suspect "MUNERE" - does that mean something?
