The following is the inscription, written on DeWitt's headstone:
"Lovely Babe how brief thy stay
Short and hasty was thy day.
Ending soon thy journey here
Pain and grief no more to bear.
Hard it is from thee to part
For it rends the aching heart.
But an heir of glories gone
Let the will of God be done.
Pillow on a Saviors breast
Sweetly sleep and softly rest.
Soon the morning shall restore
The buried babe we now deplore."
DeWitt was born and died in Falling Springs, Windsor Township, Fayette County, Iowa.
