Snatch'd by untimely death reposeth here A virtuous wife, a friend and parent dear; Her children's sorrow and her husband's grief This stone may speak; but nought can give relief; With her this tomb may perish in decay, But death alone can wipe their tears away. This Monument is erected by her affectionate husband, J.A.R. |
