Inscriptions on Gravestones
[West Side. ]
Beneath this Marble, the too perishable Monument of a Widow's Love, are deposited the bones and ashes of ROBERT Y. HAYNE. No sculptured stone is needed to perpetuate the memory of this illustrious name. The Archives of his Country are ennobled by his Honors, and his public services are stamped for Immortality Upon the face of his native state, and upon the Institutions of the Union, It is the smitten Heart that would would relieve its anguish by this record of his rare virtues, his real nobleness, his incomparable excellence. That heart alone can know how far The Wisdom of the Statesman, the eloquence of the Senator, and the courage of the Hero were transcended by those sublimer qualities which made him the Idol of his Wife, the Pattern of his Children the guide of his Friends, the honest, incorruptible Patriot, The Wisdom which counselled Nations, ruled his Home, The Tongue which swayed the People, charmed his Fireside, The Heart which nerved a state, allured his Household, His Widow and his Children could find no consolation in his loss save in the humble hope that they have given him up to that God who is the Father of the Fatherless

St. Michael's Churchyard
[East Side.]
No son of South Carolina Was ever more cherished by his noble Mother Than the subject of this memorial. Her honors were heaped upon him in early and rapid succession. Elected at his majority to her House of Representatives He soon became its Speaker; And was thence transferred to the responsible station of Attorney General. When just old enough to claim his seat, He was chosen to represent Her In the Senate of the Union. Having eloquently vindicated her Principles, In her moment of extreme peril, She entrusted her Honor to his keeping, laying upon his shoulders the burden of her Government. No sooner was the sword sheathed than she summoned him to advocate the interest of her Agriculture and Commerce. In the fulfilment of these trusts He sacrificed his Life having lived long enough for his own fame: having died too soon for his Country's good.

IN MEMORY of CAROLINE MISSROON. Aged 25 years. Intelligent, modest and affectionate, she endeared herself to friends and kindred, and through a lingering illness illustrated the Christian Virtues of Meekness, Patience and Resignation.
But thou O Heaven keep keep what THOU hast taken, And with our treasure keep our hearts on high, The spirit meek and yet by pain unshaken The faith, the love the lofty constancy -- Guide us where these are with our Sister flown- They were of Thee and thou hast claimed thine own.
[Footstone. ]
