SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF MARGARET SAWYER OF THIS CITY, WHO DIED ON THE 9TH OF APRIL, 1871. AGED 62 YEARS; AND OF HER HUSBAND RICHARD SAWYER WHO DIED ON THE 13TH OF JANUARY, 1876, AGED 72 YEARS.
THIS MONUMENT WAS ERECTED BY THEIR DAUGHTER, BETHIA ANN BETHEL, OF NASSAU, BAHAMAS, AS A TRIBUTE OF GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE AND UNDYING AFFECTION TO PARENTS WHOSE PERSONAL WORTH AND CHRISTIAN CHARACTER ENDEARED THEM TO THEIR FAMILY, AND TO A LARGE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS.
"Gone home! Gone home! the door through which they vanished.
Closed with a jar, and left us here alone.
We stand without, in tears, forlorn and banished.
Longing to follow where our loved have gone."
