KELTON. vii, 21. This monument is erected to perpetuate the remem- brance of Miss Catherine A. Kelton, who died Oct. 20, A. D. 1816, aged 17 years.
Her amiable disposition and the gentleness of her manners, with the unblamable tenor of her life, though short, yet virtuous, and entirely devoted to the happiness of her friends, rendered her dear to the affections of all by whom she was known. Beloved in life-in death lamented,
Tender friends awhile may mourn Dearer, better friends I have,
Me from their embraces torn: In the realms beyond the grave.
