When Blooming Youth is snatched away
By death’s resistless hand,
Our hearts the mournful tribute pay
Which pity may demand.
While pity prompts the rising sigh
O may this truth imprest
With awful power I too must die
Sink deep in every breath

#2 Flat stone, laid over grave to the right of stone listed above, in two pieces, more weathering than other stone and crack at an angle makes couple words hard to read

Sacred to the memory of Isabella I. Bryan

Born July 16^th 1813

Died May 31^st 18—

My flesh shall sh--- underground
Till the last trumpet’s joyful sound
Then burst the chain with sweet surprise
And in my saviour’s image----(rise?)
O glorious hour O blest abode
I shall be near and like my God
And sin and death no more control
The sacred pleasure of my soul.
