McClain. who departed
this Life January 5th
1835. Aged 75 Years 9
Months & 18 Days. She
being the Mother of 12 Chil-
dren. 6 Sons & 6 Daughters.
Stoop down my thoughts that used to rise.
Converse a while with death.
Think how a gasping mortal lies
And pants away his breath.
And must my body faint and die
And must this soul remove
Oh for some guardian angel nigh
To bear it safe above.
