Inscription:

Gdy zwiędły Rodzicom wszystkie życia kwiaty / Gdy całą w grobie zagrzebały swą nadzieję / Wzniesłszy więc duszę w niebo płacząc / drogiej straty / Wołajcie niech się wola Twoja / Panie dzieje. / -.- / Alfon Leonowicz / zmarł 1850 r. mając wieku lat 14 / zostawiwszy Rodziców pogrążonych w głębokim smutku po stracie / Jedynaka //.
