Inscriptions on Murch marker - Row 9 (Frost #37)
Rachail -
"Tis Faith tis Hope in God above
That will restore the dead we love
Would we with them in union blend
Our soul must rise not their's descend"
Simeon -
"Sorrowing o'er their stone I bend
Which cover all that was a friend
And from his voice, his hand, his smile
Divides me, for a little while"
Rebeckah -
"With us her name shall live
Through long succeeding years
Embalmed with all our hearts can give
Our praises and our tears"
Elizabeth S. -
"Friends nor physicians could not save
My mortal body from the grave
Nor can the grave confine me here
When Christ, my Judge, bids me appear"
Jeptha C. -
"Gone but not forgotten"
