HERE IN REST
REBECCA E BLAND
Born

Died

(Possible Inscription hard to read)
-----------------------------------
We shall sleep but not for ever
We shall rest beneath the Sod
We shall wake for ever in
the land where Jesus is
Then weep not for me
Then weep not for me
A happy home I have left
To whom I hope God will be
To my husband & children not
weeping for me & I at rest
