Translation:

In memory of

Mary Adelina John
eldest daughter of
Thomas and Margaret John
School and Board, Llwynypia
who fell asleep in Jesus
April 7th 1896
at twenty-one years of age
"She hath done what she could" [Mark 14:8]

It is not a grave to the end of the journey-it is not the hope of an incomplete goal of angear: but the white day of peace and work, and the desire of life again. [translation unclear, but sounds like it's probably a quote from one of the epistles of Paul]

Also Margaret
dear wife of the above [?]
who died [...]
Tonypandy.
August 1 1907 aged 51 years
we had very much fun [?]

Also Dafydd John
Who died in the night of Nov 8 1907
aged 20 years.
