Capt Sylvester S Merriman
Died in New Orleans
May 3 1849
AE 35y 7m
Why do we mourn the early dead
Peaceful beneath tho verdant sad
The body turns to dust again
The spirit wings it's way to God
Dust to its narrow house beneath
Soul to its place on high
They who have seen his look in death
No more may fear to die.
