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
