555ed

Here are deposited the remains of .................
Lavinia, consort of Beverly * RANDOLPH,
and daughter ofHarry and Nancy HETH.
She departed this life on the 15th March, 1815,
in the 28th year of her age.
It is left to the flowing tears and deep
grief of all that knew her to speak in silent
eloquence her funeral applause: for such
was the engaging manners, such the amiable
virtues of Lavinia Randolph that no one ever
lived more beloved or died more lamented, to
her precious memory parental and conjugal
affection consecrates this stone.
In the grave for a while she must lie,
But in peace and silence profound;
That when Jesus shall call from the sky
She may instatly awake at the sound,
O ye parents and husband who grieve,
Let this consolation remain,
That the day will most surely arrive,
When you'll see your Lavinia again.
(*Misrendered, should be Beverley.)
