- In fond and loving memory of Charles Lawrence, who departed this life at Stewart's Creek, Stanwell, on the 11th of January, 1899.
The face I loved it now lies low ;
That fond, true heart is still;
The hand I fondly held in mine
Sleeps now in death's cold chill.
None knew how sad the parting,
Or what the farewell cost;
But God and his loved angels
Have gained what we have lost,
(Inserted by his loving widow, sons, and daughters.)

- In loving memory of Charles Lawrence, who departed this life on the 11th of January, 1898, aged sixty-eight years.
Do not ask us if we miss him,
There is such a vacant place;
Can we ever forget that footstep,
Or that dear familiar face?
He is gone, but not forgotten,
Never shall his memory fade;
Loving thoughts will ever linger
Round the spot where he is laid.
(Inserted by his loving wife and children.)
