Grave
Inscription:
"With clear good sense, strong love of justice, and a resolute will, her vivacity and cheerfulness carried the spirit of youth into old age. Sympathizing with every detail of human life, she knew no superiors and no inferiors. But honoring all men, asked of others her own faithful performance of every duty and relieved the years of pain and infirmity by devoting them to helping the poor, the friendless, the ignorant, and the sinful."
