A F.A.G. memorial has been created for him. There is a description of the cemetery and grave and there is also a photo of the tombstone. It is a large tombstone but the photo shows that it is quite dirty and stained. It is engraved "E. H. Gambell." The inscription reads, "Husband dear take thy rest, The summer flowers will bloom, While you the purest and best doth wither in the tomb."

The F.A.G. memorial has decided to use a different spelling for his surname. If you want to you may access the website here: Find A Grave: Memorial #17105744;
