Inscription


Mary,
the daughter of Joseph Dixon
of Cromwellbottom,
who died May 30th 1807, aged 11 years.
     
Repent in time, make no delay,
for in my youth, I'm call'd away;
farewell dear friends, & cease from tears.
for here I lie, till Christ
appears.
     
Also of the above said
Joseph  Dixon,
who died September 24th 1807, aged 42 years.
     
When death was sent from God above,
so suddenly to part our love.
No friends' nor yet physicians' art,
could then prevent his fatal dart.
     
Also of John,
son of the above said Joseph Dixon,
who died August 28th, 1820, aged 32 years.
