I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see.
Description : John William Knight Giles and Bessie Ralston married in 1873 in Greenville, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia.

Avery's death record lists his father as John Giles, so John's death year is probably not 1881. The transcription of the gravestone may be in error or the inscription on the gravestone may be in error.
