Her epitaph has been deciphered, thanks to those who posted photos.
"Dear as thou wert, and justly dear,
We will not weep for thee;
One thought shall check the starting tear,
It is that thou art free.
Gently the passing spirit fled,
Sustained by grace divine;
Oh! may such grace on me be shed,
And make my end like thine!"
excerpt from The Widow Of Nain, Funeral Dirge, by Rev. T. Dale, 1860.
If any descendant lives in the area, the Camden County Historical Society's public library has a couple of old maps of the cemetery, a book that lists the epitaphs, and also deeds for the plots and records of burials, which were donated by the new owner of the cemetery to the historical society.
