HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:


In memory of Sarah Campbell
Daughter of Colonel Freeman Epes
and wife of Dr. A. A. Campbell of Nottoway County.
Born March 23, 1793
and died Nov. 26, 1833
She was twenty years a member of the
Methodist Church, during which time her
life was in strict conformity to the faith
she possessed.
And in death she calmly and peacefully
committed her spirits
Into the hands of God who gave it.
And I heard a voice from heaven saying,
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord,
>From henceforth; Yea saith the spirit, that
they may rest from their labors; and their
works do follow them.
Made by Davidson, Petersburg.

And fendly would decree it, an offering to Thee.
