Inscription
Sacred to the memory of Mrs. Paulina H. Garland wife of Burr Garland who departed this life on Saturday the 27th day of September, 1828
in the 17th year of her age Mrs. G. had been wedded to the object of her dearest and earliest affections only about ten months when she was called to leave all she loved on earth. She was young, sprightly and beautiful; possessing every quality which adorns the female sex, and by her education was well fitted for the sphere in which she seemed destined to move. Scarsely had this lovely flower, its beauties and graces given promise of its excellencies, ere it was out down by the relentless hand of death. Thus in another case has the fairest prospects of happiness and domestic comfort been overcast, and an additional proof been given that permanent felicity cannot be found on earth. The ways of Providence are often dark and mysterious, but they are always right. She has left a most devoted husband; a widow mother, affectionate brothers and sisters, and a numerous circle of relatives and friends to bewail her early and untimely death. She gave life to infant daughters at the expense of her own; one of them now sleeps at her side; the other one lives but can never know the warmth from a mothers smile, nor (balance of stone broken off.)
