I visited a couple of family graves yesterday at Airbles Cemetery in Motherwell, Lanarkshire  (Parish of Dalziel).  Took a few photos of other headstones just in case useful to somebody.

This headstone is in memory of John STEVENSON, son of John and Margaret, who died at Loos during the First World War on 25 September 1915

best wishes
Bella

Apologies - my initial post didn't upload the photo and I can't seem to get that to work (my iphone photos seem to be too large).

Names on headstone:
John Stevenson (father)
Margaret Stevenson (mother)
John Stevenson
Janet Stevenson (sister)
Bethia Stevenson (sister)

The text on the gravestone (as best as I can make out) says:

"Erected by

in loving memory of
their only son John
who fell at Loos
25th Sept. 1915, aged 21 years
Also their daughter Janet
who died 12th May 1928, aged 23 years
The above John Steveson
who died 29th Aug 1934, aged 88 years
The above Margaret Stevenson
who died 22nd Feby 1940, aged 70 years
also their daughter Bethia
who died 24th April 1953, aged 57 years"
