- In Memory of / THOMAS NUTTER / who Died January 17, 1849 / Aged forty one years: / / / Yes he is gone for ever gone / And left us here to weep / Till we are called to follow him / And in the tomb to sleep / His name is here plain to be seen / His bones are in the dust / And ere another day is gone / Death may have called on us / Turn mortal turn thy danger know / Where.er thy foot can tread / The earth rings hollow from below / And warns thee of hits death / ELIZABETH NUTTER work
