Inscription
A true Christian and Ernest man is asleep here. He died a Christian death, weep not.*
* This is an added footnote by BG to the already posted quote above. Via Photoshop enhanced image of the inscription now added to the photo page, my suggested transcription is almost identical to the one above. However, the dates on the headstone are clearly different than those on the memorial page:
JOHN KEMP WAS BORN
DEC 22 ND 1814 & DIED
SEP 22 ND 1883
A TRUE CHRISTIAN &
EARNEST MAN IS A
SLEEP HERE IN
