Sacred to the memory of

Sacred to the memory of
George W. Chappell
Born June 28th 1842
Died September 19th 1887
Life without thee husband,
Seems cold and dark to me;
How much of joy and brightness,
I’ve lost in losing thee.
Since thou canst no longer stay,
To cheer me with my love,
I hope to meet with thee again,
In yon bright world above.
Come let us join our friends above.
I would not live alway.


Sarah Frances
Wife of G.W. Chappell
Born December 6th 1844
Died December 17th 1916
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
