Pewtner Gravestone found at St John the Baptist Church Ruardean

'In memory of William Pewtner who died December 20th 1880 aged 60 years
also of Elizabeth Mary daughter of the above died June 1864 aged 3 years
also Esaias son of the above who died Nov 28th 1884 aged 27 years'

The inscription was quite difficult to read the stone was fairly weathered this is the best I could make out

'Oh we miss the ? how sadly bleeding hearts alone can tell earth has lost thee heaven has found thee Jesus doeth all things well'

If you check the Parish Records on this site you'll see that all 3 of the above are listed. Esaias is listed as Isaiah, Elizabeth Mary is listed as being 33 when she died. I think this may be an error on the part of the transcriber, it may be worth asking if they could check the records for you to make sure. I'm fairly certain she is listed as being 3 on the gravestone.

I'll send a photograph of the gravestone to you for you to check yourself
Hope this is of some help
