Inscription
"(---) Stonesifer, born June 20, 1838 died May 30, 1857, aged 18 years 11 m. & 10 days
When earth can no delights afford
He spreads a heavenly feast,
Such dainties crown his royal board
'To be with Christ is best'
There an eternity with thee
I'll think myself well blest,
I see the here, but O! to be,
'To be with Christ is best.'
Loosed from my clay, I'll dart the wing
And seek on high my rest,
Sit in some heavenly grove and sing,
'To be with Christ is best'"
