Inscription


Col. Wm. Byars

Born Nov. 13, 1776

Died Feb. 14, 1866

Aged 89 Ys, 2Ms, & 26 Ds.

Inscription:

Soul, adieu! this gloomy sojourn

Holds thy captive feet no more;

Flesh is dropped, and sin forsaken,

Sorrow done, and weeping o'er.

Through the tears thy friends are shedding,

Smiles of hope serenely shine;

Not a friend remains behind thee,

But would change his lot for thine.
