Another stone in memory of Elizabeth the beloved wife of John Tyler Larking, who after a painful mental and bodily disease fell asleep in the dear Lord Jesus, August 27th, 1878, in her 76 year.

On the right hand side of the principal road from the main entrance to the cemetery is a grave-stone erected in loving undying remembrance of Kate Ellen Wilson, whom it pleased God to take from this world of care on the 2nd of July, 1878, aged 21 years.
"Gone for ever in the blossom of life and love,
After scarcely a moment's warning.
Eloquence is lost in attempting to describe her noble qualities
Loving, faithful, generous and pure,
Thou wert the bright star that guidest me on,
Toiling for thee and rank among strangers.
Thy smile my reward when the battle was won,
In sickness or sorrow, in sadness or sleeping
Thy smile ever near to guide me along,
Whispering hopes of a bright tomorrow
My sad spirits cheering with dreams of relief,
But e'er one summer passed away
That gentle voice was hushed for aye
I watched my Love's last smile and knew,
How well the angels loved her too,
Then silent.—
Then silent but with blinding tears
I gathered all my love of years,
And laid it with my dream of old,
When all and loved slept white and cold."
On the border stone are the words "the property of Walter Scott." No. of grave 8747.
We observe another stone in memory of Mahalah the beloved and affectionate wife of Henry Noble Williams, who died November 12th, 1873, aged 38 years. In her prostrated affliction she "endured as seeing Him who is invisible" and longed to behold "the King in His beauty."
How calm and easy was her parting breath,
No conscious sorrow shook her bed of death
No infants fall when wearied sleep oppressed
So did her soul sink to eternal rest
"Until the morning breaketh."
"She looked well to the ways of her household, and ate not the bread of idleness." Prov. xxxi. 27.
Also the above named, Henry Noble Williams, who died October 28th, 1879, aged 44 years.
