gravematter > SACRED
to the memory of
John Bagley
Son of John &
Dolly Colby
who died Feb. 25, 1850
aged 19 Months
The flower he planted
He hath gathered young
to bloom in Paradise.
gravematter >  In memory of
John Colby
who was instantly killed
by the falling of
a heavy stick of timber
Feb. 18, 1839;
Aged 49
As mourning prayer and praise breathed from this sky
At ????? ??? and mangled corpse he slept
W?? ?????? ???? not his release
And blest the change from care and sin to peace
In perfect bliss beneath a brighter sky
He lives and loves, no more to weep and die
Mortals lived earnestly the morning given-
An hour may ?ir thy state in hell or heaven.
