MARY
[dau. of] Maximilian
& Molly Jewett
died Jany. 4 1802
Æt. 19. 

Life's fairest flowers in prickly thorns are drest 
and sinborn sorrowers canker every brest 
Stern envious death her repining charms espied 
He aimed his dart, the lovely Mary died 
With smiling scenes the morning life apear'd 
and friend her rising hopes endear'd 
While parents weep, & friendship mourns around 
Religon's balm alone can heal the wound.          

Right:
MAXIMILIAN
son of Maximilian 
and Molly Jewett
died April 15th 1805.
Æt. 19.  

When fatal sickness seized my vital powers 
In thoughtful anguish pass'd succeeding hours. 
My crimson guilt, my numerous sins I saw, 
And heard the curses of the broken law 
I sought the Lord with hourly prayers & tears 
My prayers he heard & banished all my fears. 
Stranger for mercy cry, nor lose the day 
Remember, you must die, repent & pray.
