Here Are Some Epitaphs
of
Green Hill Cemetery
That Have Caught My Eye

  • From the stone of Haywood L. Alderman (1883-1939) & Elizabeth G. Haywood (1876-1956)

    "Here endeth the first lesson."

  • From the stone of a child named Cockman

    And take thy rest
    God called thee home
    He thought it best"

  • From the stone of W.A. Cox, Jr.(1919-1942) (also appearing on other stones)

    "A precious one from us is gone,
    A voice we loved is stilled
    A place is vacant in our home
    That never can be filled"

  • From the stone of another child (1907-1916)

    "How much of light, how much of joy
    Is buried with our little boy"

  • From the stone of a Cardwell

    the perfect model of eternity:
    Fair Marion Vashti,
    that with angels dost remain."

  • From the spire of Rev. J. Henry Smith

    "Until the day break
    and the shodows flee away"

    Kind words are the blossoms,
    Kind deeds are the fruit."

    What he received as mist."
