Inscription

HERE was interred the body of
Martha Lawton of Brown Hill
Saddelworth who died Sep 7
1803 aged 78 Years.
Farewell vain World I've seen enough of thee
Therefore am careless what thou say'st of me
Thy Smiles I court not nor thy Frowns I fear
My cares are past my Bones are quiet here
What Faults You've seen in me take kare to shun
And look at Home for ther's enough t'be done

Carl's Cam
