Caption: Alexander Falls Tombstone
Additional Description: This monument
is erected as a feeble
tribute of respect to my
affectionate husband
Alexander Falls
who was born in the City
of New York July 14, 1812.
In 1845, he moved to
South Carolina, and was
engaged as a merchant in
Columbia, until suddenly
stricken by disease. He died
in this city March 27, 1862
aged 49 years, 8 months
and 13 days.
I know thou art gone to the home of thy rest,
Then why should my soul be so sad!
I know thou art gone where the weary are blest
And I hope! though I mourn and am glad.
