"Erected by James & Isabella Reid in loving memory of their beloved daughter Agnes who fell asleep 16th Feb 1902, aged 18 years 11 months 12 days.

Cut down she was in early life,
like flowers that bloom so gay,
she left us for a better home,
with us she could not stay."

Agnes Reid was born in Westray, the seventh of the eight children of James Reid and Isabella Reid of Smithaldy, Westray. The family probably came to Holland in the late 1880s.
