Marks and inscriptions
Verse reads:- The unbeliever trusts not. The atonement of the cross. Say where shall he find comfort. In the gloom of such a loss. Your danger is real your danger is great. Despise not the warning examine your state. A way to the saviour He promises rest. Repent and be happy believe and be blest. The Wilderness and the Solitary Place Shall Be Glad of The Desert Shall Rejoice And Blossom As The Rose Amelia Wagner Aged 14 Years 1836 Miss Pells School Brixton Hill Surrey
