Inscription

(Epitaph transcribed by her granddaughter Lucia Relf (Kemper) Durand in about 1925; all spelling as on the stone)

Ann Kemper
wife of
Jackson Kemper D.D.
Rector of this church.
Born at Philadelphia 16 Dec. 1803
Died at Norwalk 15 May, 1832
Her Christian walk
Was characterized lowliness
Unmurmuring submission to her
Heavenly Father
And entire dependence on the merits of
the Redeemer
Thus possessing through grace
a meek and quiet spirit
she was enabled to
adorn the doctrine of
God her Saviour
in all things.
This Stone
records no common loss
A Husband
and three young children
with a Mother and two brothers
Mourne the early and sudden departure
of one of the most lovely of human Beings
The Purity of her mind
and simplicity of her character
united with rare personal endowments
and a winning gentleness of manners
rendered her an object
of afection and admiration
to alI who knew her.
There are those who can forget her — never.
May these when death's dark shade is past
Partake with joy her bliss forever.
