HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

In Memory of
Mrs. Matilda Green
who departed this life
December 7th, 1820
In mother sleepeth

So Jesus slept:  God’s dying Son
Pass’d through the grave and bless’d the bed,
Rest here bless’d saint till from His throne
The morning break, and pierce the shade.

In Memory of
William Green
Son
who departed this life
December 30th, 1856
In the 71st year of his age.
My father made perfect through suffering.

Nor pain nor grief, nor anxious fear,
Invades thy bounds, no mortal woes,
Can reach the peaceful sleeper here,
While angels watch the soft repose.

In The Memory Of my Brother
William James
Son of
Matilda & William Green
who departed this life
October 18th, 1824
In the 5th year of his age.

In his earthy bed beneath the flowers,
My little brother lies
But from heaven’s blue I hear a voice,
“Tis his, It sweetly says rejoice,
I am beyond the skies.
