Hannah Tyler of Providence

Here's another original composition — at least, the power of Google cannot find another example and I've never encountered it elsewhere:

SACRED

To the memory of

Miss HANNAH TYLER,

daughter of

Ebenezer & Ann Tyler.

She died Sept. 20, 1824,

aged 74 years, 2 months

and 9 days.

TRAVELLER,

If you have tears for one whose mind

felt for every human woe;

and whose alms as well as prayers

ascended daily;

for one whose nature was formed for friendship

and in whose soul dwelt at home,

FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY;

you may freely shed them over this

MONUMENT.

How do alms ascend? Isn't the point to keep them here on earth for the relief of the poor?

Hannah Tyler, Providence, RI, 1824
