On January 25, 1852, Rebecca Charles was shot while standing on her front porch; she was 57 years old. It is possible that hostility with the local white settlers over her friendliness with the local Indians was the actual cause of Rebecca Charles' death.

Inscription
"In hope I lie beneath the ground
though mingles with the dust,
yet when the angels trump shall sound
I will rise in Christ, I trust.
Thou art laid in the grave,
we no longer behold thee,
nor tread the rough paths
of this world by thy side.
But the wide arms of mercy
are spread to enfold thee,
and sinners may hope
since the Saviour hath died."
Wife of Reuben Charles
