There is also a white stone with engraving barely legible.
It appears to be a name beginning with H
There is a foot marker on the same plot with the initials L. H.

From information received from Ardella MacPhee,
it is believed this stone is for Josiah Hart and his wife Lydia.
She bases the information on an article by John A. Morrison on the Harts,
where he writes that Joshua (which is the same as Josiah)
and his wife are buried in the old Myers Cemetery.
At the time of writing April 21, 1939
he states that "If you visit the little Myers burying ground in Manchester,
you will find the modest tombstones erected to memory of Joshua Hart and wife
and Charles Myers and wife, with one fencing around the four graves".
