MR C.R. TOBIT
Born on 16.05.1937

(Another railwayman told me
that Tobit, who came from a 
family of railwaymen, was 
much admired for his strength,
shaking the bar to the grate with

one hand)
REV L. VINCENT
Aged 50
Died in 1897
Erected by the Congregation
Basharatpur Cemetery, Gorakhpur
Gorakhpur's Ganguly family: This family
over the years has lost about 14 of
its members, the last being the
one in the foreground, a death that must have
taken place sometime recently
(Pic taken on 27th Dec 2015)

Labourers white washing monuments are never instructed not to
touch the plaque with the inscription as a result one
is unable to read what is on it.

This memorial is to the 
memory of  a 24-year-old woman  RXXX RAPHAEL
who died in 18XX
