John McLeod was born on the 1st of March 1838, and died on the 8th of August 1888. This memorial to him was erected by his widow Lily S. McLeod, and it stands near the eastern driveway of the cemetery. John was a native of Dumbarton; he was the second son of the Dumbarton timber merchant William McLeod. As Town Architect, he was responsible for designing several of the impressive monuments that can be seen elsewhere in this cemetery. [He is not to be confused with the Oban-born John MacLeod who lived in nearby Renton, and who also worked as an architect: Image]
