Inscription
In the 42nd year of his age.
Severed by Death to distant graves consigned
Their kindred dust lies wrapt in solemn gloom
Life's brilliant prospects, friendship, love resigned
To sleep in darksome chambers of the tomb.
Their souls rejoined in Triumph from the tomb
Shall claim connection in the realms above
Through endless ages find a glorious home
And celebrate their God's redeeming love.
