This beautiful stone depicts clasped hands, which is symbolic of a bond of love that reaches beyond the grave.
We learn from the inscription that Margaret Henderson was 79 years old when she passed away in 1937, so her birth year can be estimated as being either 1857 or 1858. We also learn that her husband was named David Taylor, and that he was born in about 1848 or 1849.
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.
