      To the memory of Larkin Owens, deceased.   Brother Larkin Owens, was 
born October 31st 1804 and died May the 10th 1894, aged 89 years and 6 months.  
He was a member of the Old Fields Church.  He is gone from all the troubles in 
this life, and is here mourned and we trust our loss is his eternal gain.  So 
farewell to our old aged brother.  We will see him no more in this world.  God 
bless his children and friends till the judgement day.

Far from a world of sin and strife
He now enjoys a heavenly life
And joins to praise and shout and sing
And make the heavenly arches ring.
