Inscription


Elisha D. Sparhawk
Born Jan 4, 1800
Died May 16, 1864

I have reached the joys of heaven
I am one of a sacred band
To my head a crown of gold is given
And a lamp is in my hand.
Then why do your tears run down
Why your heart so sorely riven
For another gem in the Saviour's crown
And another soul in Heaven.
