Inscription
To the Memory of / George Hurbert Fogg / died May 8 1861 / The memory of that dear one / Still lingers round my heart / How sweet the recollection / That little one imparts / His little blue eyes beaming / So sweet so soft so mild / But he is gone to heaven / That sweet that lovely child / He left one little sister, A pretty playfull thing / But ah she little dreamed of / The loss she bore in him / He suffered like a martyr / In the little temple of clay / And from his mothers bosom / The Lord hath called away / But she bore it with the patience / of a christian mother's heart / And that God that has bereft her / Will other gifts impart / Composed and Wrought by / Lizzey * Anne * Allan //
