Aged 26 years
and his wife
Lucy Upshur
Daughter of Thomas and Eliz. Parker
She died the 29th of April 1818
Aged 22 years
They were lovely in their lives and in their deaths
they are not divided.  The attachment of this
amicable pair commenced in their early youth and
continued with unabated tenderness for 13 years.
They were united in marriage on the 15th day of
April 1818 and on the 27th day of the same month
the warm hearted bridegroom saw himself a
widower.  His manly spirit which had borne itself 
credit under all other calamities bowed beneath
this stroke.  After an unavailing struggle of
18 days he found his only relief from despair and
a broken heart in a voluntary death.
Reader!  Waste not your moments in fruitless
speculations on the manner of his death.  The
tears of a whole community attest his worth;
the widow, the orphan, the poor, the oppressed,
those whom his unbought benevolence protected
and soothed shall be his intercessors before
the throne of God.  Ill feted pair your bridal
robes are you winding sheet.  Our bridal couch
the grave!  Please to the Meek and gentle Spirit!
Peace to the broken hearted Martyr of a tender
passion!  In heaven your virtues are recorded
and there shall you rest together in the bosom
of your Savior and your God.
