This beautiful stone depicts clasped hands, which are symbolic of a bond of love that reaches beyond the grave.
We learn from the inscription that David Taylor was 83 years old when he passed away in 1932, so his birth year can be estimated as being either 1848 or 1849. We also learn that his wife was named Margaret Henderson, and that she was born in about 1857 or 1858.
In the 1891 Scotland Census, there is a couple of the right age and names, living on Crown Wynd in Auchterarder, which might be this Taylor family:
David Taylor, working as a dyer.
Maggie Taylor, his wife.
Ellen Taylor, aged 11. (She is named as "Helen" in the 1901 Census)
James Taylor, aged 9.
Bella Taylor, aged 6. (She is named as "Isobella" in the 1901 Census)
This headstone is found in the Old Churchyard of Auchterarder, which is located on the corner of High Street and New School Lane. It is a small churchyard, and this particular stone is in the rear portion of the lot, beyond the WWI Memorial.
