Excerpt from "A Walk in a Country Churchyard - Autumn 1880" by Luke Smith Mote
"As we approach the southern boundary, near the fence on a small marble spire (obelisk shaped), on the north side is chiseled the name "Jacob Weddle died Sept 1857, Aged 59 yrs 8 mo," and on the opposite side, "Susanna, wife of aforenamed, died Jan'y 1874 Aged 75 yrs 11 mos." They were emigrants from the state of Maryland a number of years ago; he was a miller by occupation and did good honest work in his day. But not much of a church goer and having neglected too much the Lord's proffered mercy, he was sensibly brought to feel his undone condition on his dying bed and sent one day in haste to a certain gospel minister to come and pray for him. The writer accompanied him there and a precious time of prayer was had by his bedside, which seemed to much relieve his mind. His family gathered round his bed deeply sorrowing, and he was enabled to give good advise in this trying time and we hope his end was peace."
w/o J., died 1-8-1874 aged 75y 11m 28d.
