In a columnar framework trimmed with garlands of roses, a register of the names, births, marriages and deaths of the children of John Campbell and Hannah Martling. Baskets of flowers appear at the top; a verse and inscription at the bottom:
Come in, ye blessed of the Lord
Ye that believe his holy word
Come and recive (sic) his heavenly bread
The food with which his saints are fed
Your savior's boundless goodness prove
And feast on his redeeming love
Come all ye happy souls that thirst
The last is welcome as the first
