To the memory of Our Father
Edmund Haddon

Died May 7, 1826
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven cannot heal


Mrs. Sally H. Haddon
Born October 14, 1804
Died August 2, 1896
Our mother and aunt
Has gone to mansions of rest.
From a region of sorrow and pain,
To the glorious by the Deity blest,
Where they never suffer again.


In loving remembrance
of my beloved husband,
Joseph F. Haddon
Born April 29, 1841
Died March 26, 1900
Although he sleeps
His memory doth live
And cheering comfort
To his memory give,
He followed virtue
As his truest guide,
Lived as a  “Christian”,
And as a Christian died.


In loving remembrance of our mother,
Virginia S. Haddon
Born November 27, 1843

The pains of death are passed
Labor and sorrow cease
And life’s long warfare closed at last
Her soul is found in peace.
