The inscription is as follows:
"Dear husband and father/BARNABAS JOHN SHAW/eldest son of the/REVD. BARNABAS J. SHAW/Born at Wynberg 23rd April 1844 / Died at Bathurst 8th December 1898"
To some people there seems to be confusion between Barnabas John Shaw and his father, Rev. Barnabas James Shaw, so would be very glad if you could include the details as well as the inscription.
