And let my last end be like theirs."

No welcome the tomb
Since Jesus hath laid there I dread not its gloom
Then sweet be my rest
Till he bid me arise
T o hail him in triumph
Descending the skies."

and Susanah Miller born Aug. 31, 1801. Married Sept. 18, 1825. Departed this

"Happy soul they days are ended
All thy mourning days below
Go by angels guards attended
To the sight of Jesus go
This tree a sacred monument rear
Whose weeping boughs
Wave over thy resting place
And shall in future years
Tell me that thou art here

Resting in silence
In thy dark abode
When friends unite
To walk deaths Common road
Elizabeth farewell, farewell
Tis Jesus calls thee home
My bleeding heart submits
His will be done Elizabeth farewell,
farewell."
