Inscription From Tombstone ---

The months of afflictions are o'er,
The days and the nights of distress
We see her in anguish no more,
(The following or part of could be obscured by cement base added later by Bert 
F. Twombley)
The months of affliction are o'er,
The days and the nights of distress;
We see her in anguish no more,
She's gained her happy release.

No sickness or sorrow or pain
Shall ever disquiet her more,
For death to her spirit was gain,
Since Christ was her life when below.

Her soul has now taken its flight
To mansions of glory above,
To mingle with angels of light,
And dwell in the Kingdom of Love.

The victory now is obtained
She's gone her dear savior to see
And her wish she fully has gained
She's now where she longed to be.

The coffin, the shroud and the grave,
To her were no objects of dread,
On him who is might to save,
Her soul was with confidence stayed.

Then let us forbear to complain,
That she is now gone from our sight;
We soon shall behold her again,
With new and redoubled delight.
