John Y. Beall Plaque
Details:
Affixed on a wall inside the church.
A white marble plaque set on a backing piece of black marble with English inscription. It has so far proved to be impossible to trace why the memorial is at this small country church. Much has been written about Beall, but nothing which traces his family to Ainstable.
