Inscription
Lemuel Donelson
Born Sept 6 AD 1789
Died June 21 AD 1832
In him were found happily united the qualities of a kind husband an affectionate Father a virtuous citizen an accomplished scholar and gentleman.
My days are vanished like the snow before the blast.
Inscription on another side of monument:
Beneath this stone in the rest of the grave repose the remains of Lemuel Donelson and Eliza Jane his wife.
Inscription on another side of monument:
Man blooms a little April day
And with the dying evening ray
He fadeth as a leaf
He fadeth but the silver reign
May wake the fainting flower again
And call it into life.
