Shousetown Cemetery Memorial Marker | Additional Description:
Side B
Sacred to the memory
Joseph M. Harris
who departed this life
April 24th, 1848
in the 36th year of his life
This mournful testimony of affection erected by his wife
Matilda Shouse Harris -- Born 1816 - Died 1852
Yes! I must follow soon,
I'll glad obey
When a few suns have rolled their cares away
Tired with vain life,
I'll close the willing eye
'Tis the greatest birthright of mankind to die
Blest be the bark that wafts us to the shore
Where death divided friends shall part no more
