On the south side the inscription is a list of the owners of the estate from 17 13 to 1920, with the dates of each one's period of ownership, as follows:

The west side is inscribed in Latin and states that this was Edward Gove's homefield from 1665, as follows:
EDVARDI GOVI

Mr. Gove was interested in Esperanto, the world language which was produced a score of years ago, and wrote the inscription for the north side of the monument in that language, as follows:
TIU CI MONTRAS
LA HELAJU
HOROJU KIE
DUM DUCENT
JAROJ ESTIS
LA FAJRUJO
DE LA FAMILIO
DE GOVE
In English, this inscription reads as follows: "This marks the sunny hours where for two hundred years was the hearthstone of the Gove family." |
