Inscription
Sacred to the memory of
ABIGAH YEAGER
Born in Culpeper Co., Va.
Jan.20, 1788
Died in Bibb Co., Ala.
Sept. 2, 1862
He was a man of honest industry
and stern integrity, and for many years
an acceptable member of the M.E. Church
This languishing head is at rest,
Its thinking and aching are o'er,
This quiet unmovable breast,
Is heaved by affliction no more.
