Sacred to the Memory of
George W. Bradfield
who was born January 17th 1821
and departed this life,
September 27th. 1845
Aged 24 years, 8 months and 10 days
Peaceful be thy silent clumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low,
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our songs shall know.
Dearest George, and thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But ‘tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
Then, in heaven, with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed.

Tho my burden sore oppress me
And I sink beneath My pain
Jesus Christi will soon release me,
And you loss will be my gain.
Dear friends who live to mourn & weep,
Behold the grave wherein I sleep,
Prepare for death for you must die
and be intombed as well as I.
