Would someone happen to have access to monumental inscriptions for this part of the cemetery? Any information would be greatly appreciated. >> Doug, Actually section "C" is different from the section known as North or South Presbyterian (South Pres. also has a section C), but it is right next to that area. The information you want it from Section "C", stone #110: ORMISTON / In / memory of / John Ormiston / died Sept. 16th 1908 aged 75 years / A faithful friend, a husband dear / A tender parent lieth here / Great is the loss we here sustain / But hope in Heaven to meet again / Margaret Porteous / his wife / died Mar. 27th 1882, aged 41 years. In / memory of / Wm. J. Avery / 1868 - 1950 / Catherine Ormiston / his wife / 1874 - 1951. Stone #111: In memory of / John J. Ormiston / born Sept. 15, 1870 / died Oct. 19, 1943. Stone #112: In loving memory of / Cynthia Jane Smith / beloved wife of / John J. Ormiston / died Sept. 15, 1935. Stone #113: Mary F. Ormiston 1870 - 1959 Stone #114: W. J. Ormiston / 1864 - 1936 Hope this helps a bit, Susan Norris, Houston, TX
