r. Somerby.
At length a grave spots for him provided,
Where all through him so many of us died did.
Early, bright, chaste as morning dew,
She sparkled, was exalted and went to heaven.
NORFOLK.
Lieut. Nathan Davis.
Died in 1781.
Death is a debt that's justly due,
That I have paid and so must you.
Elizabeth, wife of Nathan Davis.
Died 1786.
This debt I owe is justly due,
And I am come to sleep with you.
NEW YORK.
SKANEATELES.
Underneath this pile of stones
Lie's all thats left of Sally Jones.
Her name was Lord it was not Jones.
But Jones was used to ryme with stones.

Where I do now at anchor ride
With many of our fleet,
Yet once again I must set sail,
My Admiral Christ to meet.
Alden White.
Grim death took me without any warning,
I was well one day, and stone dead next morning.

The fate was certain although the event was slow.
While on earth my knee was lame,
I had to nurse and heed it.

Against the scarlet fever.
In five day's time she was cut down,
To dwell with Christ forever.

Choose to be buried asunder.
