In memory of
WILLIAM BENJAMIN
son of Robert & Martha
Harrison
born June 6th 1854
died May 21st 1861
aged 6 years 11 mon's
and 15 days.
Now he is gone, Oh why should we weep
See how he lies in death's dreamless sleep
So placid, so calm, with a smile on his brow,
Our Billy B. is dwelling with Angels now.
