The second tomb is the monument to W. Rogers, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. This tomb has baluster angles, a raised oval plaque on the south side with a scroll border, and two rococo-framed plaques on the north side. It includes an inscription commemorating William Rogers, who died in 1826. The south side of this monument is damaged.
