Here lies Sir John Guise: No one laughs, no one cries: Where he's gone, and how he fares, No one knows, and no one cares.

Here lies Kelly, we buried him today. He lived the life of Riley, when Riley was away!

Here lies James Dunn – he raced for the crossing but the train won

A victim of fast women and slow horses.

Elizabeth Scott lies buried here, She was born Nov 20th 1785, according to the best of her recollection.

Here lies the corpse of Doctor Chard, who fill'd half of this churchyard.

Here lies the body of Samuel Crane – He ran a race with a passenger train. He got to the crossing and almost across. Sam and his car was a total loss. Sams spirit now tolls his knell. That Sam is on his way to well – If he only took time to stop look and listen, He'd be living now instead of missing

"Here lies my husband – what else is new"

She tormented him until he dried up like a bundle of Straw.

Here lies Joseph Trowlup, who made yon stones roll up: when death took his soul up, his body filled this hole up.

Tabitha wife of Moses Fledger Aged 55 – We shall miss thee, mother (Job printing neatly done.)

I bowl'd, I struck, I caught, I stopp'd. Sure life's a game of cricket; I block'd with care, with caution popp'd, yet Death has hit my wicket.

I lodged have in many a town and travelled many a year. Till age and death have brought me down, to my last lodging here.

Mitchell – Well This Sucks

Here lies the body of Richard Thomas, an Englishman by birth, a Whig of '76 – a Cooper by trade, now food for worms. Like an old rum puncheon whose staves are all marked and numbered he will be raised and put together again by his Maker.

Peter Letig was his name, Heaven I hope his station, Baltimore was his dwelling place and Christ is his salvation.

Rest In Peace Cousin Huet – We all know you didn't do it

Agreeable to the memory of Mrs Alinda Tewksbury. She was not a beleiver [sic] in the Christian idolitry.

Here lies the body of Arkansas Jim. We made the mistake, but the joke's on him.

She was never meant to be understood, just loved.

Tears cannot restore her –– therefore I weep.
