Gardner August 8, 1832 in the 16 year of her age. Death chilled this fair fountain ere sorrow had stained it, Twas frozen in all the pure light of its course But she sleeps till the sunshine of heaven unchains it To water that Eden where first of its source. Additional Comments: This is a replacement tombstone for Frances. When Frances refused the advances of Ira, he murdered her. He was then the only person to be executed in Trumbull County, Ohio. He is supposed to be buried in an unmarked grave in this same cemetery.
