Inscription:
In memory of Phebe, wife of David Willson who died January 14, 1866. Aged 88y 3m.
To a great age my life has been
Although my body's gone;
My mind was like the olive green
And fruit was seen thereon.
O may my prayer forever live
In my redeemer's mind:
And may the Lord a blessing give
To those I leave behind. - - -
