I would like to submit a transcription.  It is off one of the graves located 
in the above cemetary.  The cemetary also has a memorial stone erected to a 
Powers that drowned with the Titanic that is very close to the stone that I 
am transcribing.

"In Memory of Betsey Leslie who died the 12th day of Oct. 1819: 
aged 19 years and 9 months.

Her temper was calm and contented her mind
In humble submission her soul was resigned;
Yet longed for the moment that would her release
And fix her freed soul in the regions of peace.
Oh Betsey, my Betsey; from tears I'll refrain,
Tho- parted a while we shall soon meet again;
Mean while if permited (sic) O! sometimes decend(sic)
To cheer the sad soul of thy husband & friend."
