"Sacred to the memory of ISOM GWIN, born March 17th 1817, and died 
December 17th 1853, in hopes of a glorious immortality. The deceased 
was a native of this state and was raised from an infant in this county. In 
1837 he married Miss Mary B. Wilson; he became religious in 1840, and 
united with the Protestant Methodist Church of which he lived a member 
till his death. In his death his bereaved wife mourns the death of a kind 
and affectionate husband, his two children the loss of a tender and loving 
father, his parents a dutiful and beloved son, his brothers and sisters a 
loving and beloved brother.

"Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord: Rev."


Additional Comments:
Cemetery is located about three-quarter miles north of the intersection of 
Hwy. 22 and Route 21 in the woods across the road (east side of Route 
21) from the famous old wooden St.Luke's Episcopal Church.
