Inscription
Sacred
To The Memory Of
ELIZABETH JOHNSON
Wife Of
URIAH JOHNSON
Who Died April 7th 1855
Aged 66 Years.
Beneath this stone lies buried here,
a lover of her children dear.
It pleases God to take her hence,
to render her on recompence
His sincere friend,
Her husband mourns for her e'en
But hopes to meet in Heaven.*

Gravesite Details
Headstone lies completely flat on the ground. It appears to have spent a long time like that although I suspect it would originally have been upright. There is more inscription on the bottom half of the headstone but is difficult to decipher.
