BLACKWELL, Bouldin C., 16 Dec 1818 - 13 Oct 1859, husband of Mary C.
Blackwell. Though I have seen thy form depart
forever from my widowe'd eye I hold thee in my inmost heart. There,
there at least thy cans't not die. Farewell on earth, Heaven claimed its
own, yet when from me thy presence went I was exchanged for God alone.

south side, on stone
with Eliza Wyatt Blackwell; dates inconsistent with age) 7637/7638
BLACKWELL, Wm. H., 27 Nov 1792 - 26 Nov 1846, consort of Eliza W. Collier.
(Note: This is a
likely a slab covering the grave There is a
difference in birth date of 2 years from the stella monument. What
probably happened here is, when William Henry died in 1846 he was given
the slab grave cover over in the eastern part of the graveyard. When his
wife Eliza died in 1856 the children set the stella monument in place
repeating his inscription, but with a date error.)
