Inscription

In Memoriam
Joseph Conway
Eldest son of G.R. & G.T. Atkinson
Born June 2, 1845
Died August 10, 1858
Obedient, faithful, tender, fond and kind,
For thirteen years we fondly saw him romp;
Diffusing fragrance, like some tender flower.
Around the soft endearing hearth of home.
We weep: Obliterate the holy tear,
Faith lends her aid because affection’s load,
We ever mourn our child upon the brier
We blindly yield an angel to his God.
