“I Thank My God”
”Parting is such
sweet sorrow”
Here lies
Ezekiel Aikle
Age 102
The Good Die Young
Anna Wallace
The children of Israel wanted
bread
And the Lord sent them manna;
Mr. Wallace wanted a wife,
And the devil sent him Anna.
I put my wife
beneath this stone
For her sweet rest
and for my own.
Here lies the body of
Aunt Hannah Proctor
Who never took time
to call the Doctor:
She couldn't stay, She had to go
Praise God from whom
all blessings flow.
“Gone but
Not Forgiven”
Sacred to the memory of
My husband, John Barnes
Who died January 3, 1803.
His comely young widow,
aged 23,
has many qualifications
of a good wife,
and yearns to be comforted.
Cold is my bed,
but oh, I love it,
For colder are my
friends above it.
I told you
I was sick!
Here lies a blessed
man
who tasted the
love of God
and of God’s people

gospel, all of you share
in God's grace with me.
