| | | 4. Nearby Gravestone behind marker in previous picture. | Sacred to the Memory of William F. Smith
Born on the 11th August 1802
Died on the 2nd February 1823
Aged 20 years
To this sad shrine whoe’er thou art draw near
Here lies the friend and most lov’d, the son most dear
Who ne’er knew joy but friendship might divide
Or gave his mother grief but when he dy’d.
How vain is reason, eloquence so weak!
If Forbes must tell what Smith cannot speak.
Oh let thy once lov’d friend inscribe thy stone
And with a mother’s sorrows mix his own. | | |
