It is fortunate that this marker was read in the 1960s because it has significantly deteriorated.  The inscription was deciphered as:
David Callahan
Son of G. and S. Callahan
Died October 04, 1871
Aged 20Y 10M 8D

Evidence suggests, however, that David was the son of Charles and Susannah (Fass) Callihan, whose surname was most frequently spelled Callahan.  This marker is next to the marker for Susannah Fass Callihan.
