Inscription
Sacred
To the memory of
Mrs. Agnes Gee
who departed this life on
10th day of February, 1823, in the
29th year of her age
In whose memory this stone is erected
by her disconsolent
husband.
Affliction sore, long time she bore.
Physicians aid was vain.
Till God.was pleased, death should her seize,
And ease her of her pain.
