Alice L.,
Wife of
Sim S. Harris
Born
Sept. 23, 1858
Died
Jan. 11, 1886.
----
An epitaph on the plinth reads:
We only know that thou hast gone,
and that the same relentless tide
which bore thee from us, still glides on,
and we who mourn thee with it glide.
-----
Going 'round the monument, on the panel and shaft, respectively:
- A pair of clasped hands and a crown.
- A Holy Bible and a figure holding onto a cross.
- A cross with roses and a wreath of roses.
