JACOB LEPARD
DIED Oct. 24, 1850,
Ag'd 76 Yrs. 2 Mos. & 29 D's.
From sorrows I did far remove
When Heaven sent death to be my friend
Long time my life I did improve
In peace with all I made mine end.
Come children to my quiet home,
And read the life of father dear
In tumults I was never known
Nor lent the world a listening ear.
