Поля
The fate was certain although the event was slow.
While on earth my knee was lame,
I had to nurse and heed it.
But now I'm at a better place,
Where I don't even need it.
Her blooming cheeks were no defence
Against the scarlet fever.
In five day's time she was cut down,
To dwell with Christ forever.
Moses White
His grand excellence was that he was genuine
Father and Mother and I
Choose to be buried asunder.
Father and Mother here,
And I buried yonder.
Julia King
I go to meet my brother
John Dale
and his two wives
A period's come to all their toilsome lives,
The good man's quiet—still are both his wives.
Greenwood.
Grieve not for me my Harriet dear
For I am better off,
You know what were my sufferings
And what a dreadful cough.
David Stuart
A loving father and companion,

Orange County.
Underneath this stone doeth lie
As much virtue as could die;
Which when alive did vigor give
To as much of beauty as could live.
Amos Judge
(Coal dealer.)
He gave full weight to all t'is said
And did it without vaunting;
When in the ballance he is weighed
He will not be found wanting.
William Newhall
He 'rose in health at early dawn
To hail the new born year:
Before the evening shade came on
He finished his career.
He was a man of invention great
Above all who he lived nigh;
But he could not invent to live
When God called him to die.
A thousand ways cut short our days,
None are exempt from death.
A honey-bee by stinging me
Did stop my mortal breath.
He got a fish bone in his throat
And then he sang an angel's note.
Orange County.
Here lies a kind and loving wife,
A tender nursing mother;
A neighbor free from brawl and strife,
A pattern for all others.
To the memory of
Susan Mum
Silence is wisdom
This corpse

Phebe Thorps
