Inscription
BLANCHARD
Sarah SMITH Wife of Joseph BLANCHARD, Died Aug. 3, 1872, AE. 18.
Thou art gone to rest,
With thee the cares of life are o're,
We cannot wish thee back again,
For thou hast gained that shining shore,
The loved ones thou hast left to mourn,
Will gather around thy couch of rest,
And there above thine youthful form,
Will plant choice flowers the purest and the best.
