This monument to two little girls stands on the Middle Ridge, just off the main paved road and above the western end of Ravine Side Way.
The white marble stone features an angel standing guard over a reclining child. The angel's head and face are badly worn (giving the figure a somewhat macabre look) and the child's legs and arm are broken. A beautifully carved wreath of flowers encircles the name "Minnie" with the name "Katie" underneath which suggests that Minnie died first and Katie's name was added sometime later. The lamb sleeping atop the monument seems almost to have been added later, perhaps at the time of Katie's burial. The lamb, too, has suffered damage to its head.
