Wednesday’s child: “...with my Father I was left”

You can find the small tablet gravestone of Ira Hall (b. 1845, d. 1846) near the fence that separates Williamsville Cemetery from the growth of the surrounding suburb. (Until recently, the cemetery was nearly hidden from view by trees and other natural growth. Now there are new homes and new shops in place of fields and woods.)

The epitaph is unique, personal—and somewhat difficult to read. Luckily, there is an 1948 transcription of the gravestone on FindAGrave.com to sanity-check my reading.

The last two words are not legible to me, but in 1948 they were thought to be fait? tree. Maybe fair tree?

When 10 Mo’s old I sunk in death
My little spirit soared away,
To embrace my mother by
