Here rest a woman good without pretense
Blessed with plain reason and with sober sense
No conquest she but oe’r herself desired
No arts essay’d but not to be admired
Passion and pride were to her soul unknown
Convinced that virtue only is our own
So firm yet so soft, so strong yet so refined
Heaven as its purest gold by tortues tried
The saint sustained it, but the woman died.


Sacred to the memory of
John M. Calloway
age 20 years 8 months and 28 days
Go fair account of undaunted youth
Of modest wisdom and pacific truth
Let take these tears mortalitys relief
And till we share our joys, forgive our sins
These little rites, a stone, a verse recovers
Tis all a brother, all a friend can give.
