- Inscription
- "A time to read, a time to pray / A time to leave my books and play / To give my heart to God, / A time to live a time to die: / For soon my little head may lie / Under the valley sod. / Now is the time to think of God / While youth is in its bloom / Nor wait until old age prepares / Our bodies for the tomb. //
