The Grave of Mary Montfort Jones
The Child of Willie and Mary Jones
She was born on August 21, 1788 and died June 29 1791
Venus gave all the graces Pallas formed the mind With rival art to make the first of Womankind Jove of the wonderous work too soon enamored grown Sent the stern tyrant death and claim'd her for his own The spirit soar'd to Jove the fine cold senseless clay
Shin'd in spight of death as bright as orient day.
