entered this sacred spot, proceding
up the centre walk we soon found Great-Grand Father & Grand Mother Woodruff's
resting places with the toomb stones
faceing West. I recognized them in a

places of my long since departed kindred
& thought that perhaps you had stood
on the same spot many years before.
It may have been the cold that caused
my eys to moisten. this is a delightful
spot at sutch as one could wish to rest
in till called forth to a brighter existence
an iron fence surrounds the yard
& a row of splendid pine's cast their
approving shadows upon this matchless
home of the dead. With slow steps
