Inscription
MacDONOUGH, Lucy Ann, d. 9 Aug 1825, age 35;
"Sacred to the memory of Mrs. Lucy Ann,
wife of Com. Thomas Mac DONOUGH
& daughter of Nathaniel & Lucy Ann SHALER.
The richest gifts of Nature &
of Grace adorn'd her mind &
heart, & at her Death Genius, Friendship
& Piety morn'd their common loss.
She preceded her husband to the realms of glory only a few short months..
They were lovely & pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided."
