Married 19th Octr. 1848. Died 3rd Novr. 1853 Aged 44 years.

In deep humility she strove to tread the narrow way that leadeth unto
life.
And after long suffering was permitted to depart in perfect peace.
Two young children were left to the care of her bereaved husband,
who sorrowing yet not without hope,
erects this monument in testimony of her inestimable worth.
Tender love, enduring patience, lively faith,
and
Christian charity.
Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.
The Revd. Percy James Drake M.A. son of the above
