I will not weep my boy for thee, Though thou wert all the world to me; I would not wish thee waked again, to strive like me with want and pain. I will but close that still bright eye and kiss that brow so pale and high, And those pure lips, whose tones divine, Caught their first tones, First prayers from mine, And fold thee to this bosom lone, Which thou hast left cold as thine own, And thus implore the God who takes, To help the heart thine absence breaks, Yet 'twas to heaven thy sole was borne, And wherefore should thy parent mourn, Perhaps in mercy He reproved, The selfish zeal with which I loved, I'll mourn no more; my God thou know'st the wealth my stricken heart has lost! O' shield me from repining cares, When other parents pain is to theirs. ROW 10 SCOTT In memory of William H. P. Scott, son of Jesse G. & A. P. Scott, born September 5, 1839 - died April 1, 1841 Aged 1 year, 6 months & 26 days. Tulliola A. P. Scott, daughter of J. G. & A. P. Scott, born August 31, 1837 - died February 1, 1848. Here rests beneath this silent tomb, One whose friends lament her early doom, Cut off from all who held her dear, She sweetly sleeps in silence here. J. G.

Mr. Freeman was a resident of New Orleans but died while in Huntsville visiting the Neals. Thomas Freeman not only surveyed the boundary between Tennessee and North Carolina, he surveyed Madison County. These are but two of his accomplishments and his accuracy is praised today by surveyors with modern equipment. ] ROW 11 JONES Front: In memory of Elizabeth Dukes, wife of Friley Jones, born 14 Feb. 1798, died 27 Aug. 1838.
