IN

memory of

SARAH CURTIS,

who departed this life

Aug. 1, 1840;

in the 68^th year of her

age

—

Unveil thy bosom faithful tomb,

Take this new treasure to the thy trust;

And give these sacred relics room,

To seek slumber in the dust.

In the historic Mount Holly Cemetery at Little Rock, Arkansas, a stained square-top marble tablet is nestled into a tree growing around it. The gravestone marks the grave of Sarah Curtis.  The epitaph makes a simple and plaintive plea for her peaceful rest in the grave.
