Tombstone Tuesday: From the Rocky Mountains and New Hampshire

The following lines are from a rough headboard at a pass in the Rocky Mountains known as the Devils Gate.

Here lies the body of Carrie Sodd

Who has lately died and gone to God;

Which shows that redemption is never too late,

For she was saved at the Devil’s Gate

From Hollis, N. H., we can see the following:

Benjamin Parker, near eighty-three,

Respectable you once did see;

His grandson now lies over him

We all must feel the effect of sin – 1802
