Long Cane Cemetery, Abbeville, SC
Additional Description: Wife of
James M. Perrin
Born 2nd November A.D. 1829
Died 8th August A.D. 1855
Cut down by in the blood of youth
and in the enjoyment of every
worldly blessing whilst illustrating
every Christian virtue,
and when most needed to rear
tender babes
now unconscious of their loss.
----------
Creature in whom excelled
whatever can to sight or thought be formed
Holy, Divine, Good, Amiable of Sweet
How art thou lost!
----------
From the dark grave and from the awful future the echoing sounds rise higher and clearer; and like a bell with solemn sweet vibrations, I hear the voice of the Redeemer say, "I am the Resurrection and the life."
