The tablet marker at the grave of Roxana Havens (d. 1837) is without decoration. No willows. No hands. No angels. Just a simple inscription and a simple epitaph.
ROXANA
wife of
THOMAS C. HAVENS,
died March 22, 1837;
in the 43. year of her age.
Worn out with sickness & with pain
I bid you all farewell,
I hope in heaven to remain
And with my Saviour dwell.
