After the death of Joseph Lye, his family placed a stone on his grave,
bearing this inscription:
In Memory of
MR. JOSEPH LYE,
who died
April 10, 1834,
Aged 42 Years.
Receive, O earth, his faded form,
In thy cold bosom let it lie;
Safe let it rest from every storm,
Soon may it rise, no more to die.
So that stone tells of the faith Lye had in eternal life, a faith which
was his guide in each act of the days of his life.
