Epitaph on her grave stone
On earth, she only shone a pearl
In Heaven a glittering gem appears
A child of sorrow here she wept
In Heaven a cherub free from tears.

And 7 days.
Clarrina Carrier died Feb. 13th
1842. aged 54 years 6 months & 3 days.
She sustained a good character through
Her life and died universally lamented.
Her disconsolate husband, children &
other relatives have the consolation of
a belief that her departed spirit is with the
redeemed of the Lord.
