Inscription on tombstone of Amos Adkins, 1780-1851. Newport Cemetery.
With honest purpose, heart sincere, The weary path of life he trod; "'Tis right," he said when death was near; And found supporting hope in God. Death's gloomy veil he calm surveyed. Nor feared to travel the dismal shade.

Her last words were, "I'm going to Jesus." Triumphing in faith, she yielded her breath. "I'm going to Jesus," she whispered in death.
