Three people are commemorated on this gravestone, but it is the middle one about whom there is most text and the others are defined purely in relation to him. It commemorates Susanah J. S. Hamshire, died 1896 aged 75 years; then, below a sepia photograph of the man, her only son William Gardiner Clarke (1864-1945) and his wife Annie Fitzjohn Clarke, died 1971. William Gardiner Clarke's inscription takes up most space and notes him to have been a member of Felixstowe Urban District Council for 50 years: "Well done, thou good & faithful servant."
