Inscription
Mrs. Susan Wells Lea, consort of the Hon. Luke Lea who departed this life in Cleveland, TN Jun 9, 1848 in the 51st year of her life.
Oh weep not for her who, from suffering and sorrow,
Hath fled to the clime of content and accord;
Whose spirit in heaven new brilliance shall borrow,
For blessed are those who have died in the Lord.
Rejoice that, with angels, afflictions can never
Confine her again to a slumberless bed;
And that she shall dwell with the Saviour for ever,
When the last peal of thunder shall waken the dead.
[Milford Bard]
