Where husband and wife are laid side by side, after, but a short separation
in this world are two headstones, quaintly carved with weeping willow and urn
at the top. The one reads:
In
Memory of
DEAC. PHILLIP HALLOCK
who Died
Nov. 1, 1841
In the 74 year of
his age
Beneath this stone I rest my head
In slumbers sweet;
Christ blest abode
Don't weep for me, my pains o'er
We soon shall meet to part no more.

Upon the other are the lines:

IN MEMORY OF
RUTH
Wife of Deac. Phillip HALLOCK
who Died
Feb 13, 1840
Aged 71 years & 3 mo
Behold the tomb, this mournful tomb
My heart chills at the sound
My wife, the partner of my youth
Lies mouldering in the ground.

The tomb of Capt. Heathcut HALLOCK who died in 1842, bears the verses:

But is he Dead; Ah no! he lives
His nobler spirit flies
To worlds of bliss, where Jesus gives
The life that never dies.

Mrs. Betsy HALLOCK is commemorated by the lines:

Dear as thou wert and justly dear
We would not weep for thee;
One thought shall check the starting tear
It is that thou art free.

The tides of the Sound, that once bore in and out a bust commerce, await the
coming of them that do business in greatwaters. The smiling land that has
taken to it's bosom so many of the pioneers will give generously of it's
bounty and it's beauty to the people who are hereafter to inhabit it. And
over all broods the great Rock, the handiwork of Him to whom a thousand years
are but as a watch in ---light.
