Inscription
Poem on the other side of monument:
"The Captain and his faithful wife
Have closed the voyage of their life.
But happy they, for both had sailed,
On Zion's ship that never failed.
The holy priesthood for their guide,
Safely they've crossed life's ocean wide.
Now rest they on that peaceful shore,
Among the blest forever more.
And oh! their joy will be complete
When all their children there they meet."
