My Son & Daughter

In Memory of
Miss MARY J. RHODES
Died May 14th 1860,
Aged 21 Years 2 Months
& 10 Days
She was young, beautiful and good-
A loving daughter an affectionate
Sister, a faithful friend, beloved by
all, yet death spared her not.
Farewell, thou loved one sacred by thy trust,
No blot is on thy spotless memory,
Our sighs are not for thee, for thou art blessed,
Thou art in Heaven and there th y good with thee.

In Memory of
Robert A. Rhodes
Died April 19th 1860,
Aged 25 Years 10 Months
& 11 Days
It is rare that one so young acqui-
res a character so unequaled for 
energy, enterprise and the morral traits
which distinguish the useful citizen and 
good man.  His claim to these qualities was
accorded by all who knew him, but he
shone brightest in the domestick circle
where his untiring devotion and
dutiful affection to his Father and 
family excited the commendation of all
and left us naught to regret but his
untimely death. yet we are consoled 
in the reflection that he died in peace
with his maker and fellow Man.
This modest stone, what few vain marbles can,
May truly say here lies an honest Man.

They died in Jesus, and are bless’d
How kind their slumbers are;
>From suff’rings, and from sins, released.
And freed from every snare.
