Conservation Assessment
In
memory of
Madalene M. Fairsmith
who departed this life
March 1st 1848

and 25 days.
Tears fell when thou wert dying
From eyes unused to weep
And long where thou art lying
Will tears the cold turf steep:
Kate V.

So fades the lovely blooming flower
The smiling emblem of an hour
How soon our transient comfort fly
Beauty only blooms to die.
