HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:


Sacred to the Memory of
Edmund Batten
who departed this life
January 3rd A.D. 1854
Blessed be the bark that
Waft us to the shore,
Where death divided friends
Shall part no more, to join thee there,
Here with the dust repose
is all the hope, thy hopeless Mary knows.

This mento is erected by his bereaved widow
Mary A. Batten
