O weep not for those whom the veil of the lifes happy mourning hath
did from our eyes  (more to verse on girls stone, but couldn't read all of it.

(Transcribers note:  The story is the two Arrington girls were on their way to
a ball in Monticello.  Accompanied by their chaperone, they were taken in their
father's boat.  There had been a great deal of rain and the river was up.
Within sight of the dock in Monticello,  the boat overturned and sank.  Efforts
to rescue the girls failed.)
