Inscription

Lucy Capps
Born Feb 22, 1803
Died Jan 14, 1849
In the 46th year of her age

Rest mother rest in quiet sleep
While friends in sorrow o'er thee weep
Indeed their heartfelt offerings bring
And near thy grave thy requiem sing

Lovely babe how brief thy stay
Short and hasty was thy way
Ending soon thy sojourn here
Pains and grief no more to bear
