Alexander Eakin 1743 - Jun 16, 1806

Sacred/to the memory of/ALEXANDER EAKIN/Who departed this life/June 16th 1806./Aged 63 years./How still and peaceful is the grave/To sleep in death is dark gloom/Until the eternal morning wake/The slumbers of the tomb/Why should we mourn departed friends/Or shake at deaths alarms/Is but the voice that Jesus sends/To call them to his arms.
