New Deer Kirkyard monumental inscription
« on: Thursday 04 May 23 00:35 BST (UK) »
Hello, does anyone have the monumental inscription for stone 376?  It belongs to the family of JOHN FORBES.  FindAGrave has the photograph of the stone but no writeup and the stone is pretty much unreadable.

Thanks for any help.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
