Sacred to the memory of John Lewis Bailey only child of Dr. Lewis M. Bailey & Mrs. Phebe H. Bailey.

He was born October 12th A.D. 1817 and died February 23rd A.D. 1832

How short the.....
Cut down in all his bloom
The course but yesterday begun
You finished in the tomb
There joyous you have learned
Thy years may end their flight
Lonely and long before lifes brillant moon?
May come death & gloomy night.

In corner of the stone is: Wm. Mountjoy Richmond, Virginia
