Inscription

Died at Paris, Oneida County, on the 27th day of December, 1831, in the 76th year of her age, Ama Avery, 16 hours after Gardiner Avery, husband of the deceased, aged 81 years. After living together 59 years they were both buried on the 29th in one grave.

Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb
Take this new treasure to thy trust,
And give these sacred relics room
To slumber in the silent dust.
Break from this throne, illustrious morn,
Allot to earth his sovereign word;
Restore thy trust; a glorious form
Shall then arise to meet the Lord.
