         G.W. ROPER

In memory of
DAVID J.
only son of Geo. W. & Matilda V. Roper
Died April 23, 1850 aged 2 years & 2 months

Like a playful sunbeam streaming
With its bright and transient ray
Come to earth this joyous creatures
Soon, also, to pass away

Dry your tears Oh! weeping mother
Chase the gloom cloud from your brow
He is free from sin and sorrow
He is with the angels now

LUCIE ANNETTE
Eldest daughter of Geo. W. & M.V. Roper
Wife of Dr. I.G. Angell
Born June 14, 1815 died May 17, 1870

How pale and passionless we saw her lie
The young, the beautiful, the good
As paused the spoiler dread to bid her die
As round the cherished form we stood

We see that happy home made desolate
Fond parents weep, a sister sighs
A husband sadly bows to ......
A little son sends forth his cares
