Both sides of this memorial contain poems.
For Catherine:
Catherine, Wife of Elkanah Jacks
Died June 25, 1880
Aged 85 Y 3 M 10D's
Mother, thou art gone to rest
We must not weep for thee.
For thou art now where oft on Earth
They spirit longed to be.
For Elkanah:
Farewell my children all
From you a father has been called.
Weep not for me it is in vain
To call me to your sight again.
