Caption: Edward H. Edwards Tombstone
Additional Description: To the Memory of
Edward H. Edwards
who departed this life
on the 14th day of April 1843.
In the 49th Year of His Age.
He was distinguished for the soundness
Of his intellect, his high sense of honor,
His kindness and benevolence.
And as no man was ever more firm
And devoted in his friendship.
So few have ever exhibited more
Of the lofty qualities and generous
Values of humanity.
As a testimony of the confidence
Reposed in him by his fellow Citizens,
He was frequently Elected to the City
Council, and to the State Legislature.
And was Major General of the 2nd Division
Of the State Militia.
In all Capacities he was equally
Useful and efficient, and acquired.
----------
As a slight Memorial of his worth,
And her loss, this Stone is erected
By his afflicted Widow.
