"In memory of Elizabeth Jane Jenks"
"Born in Washington Va, May 1 1831* and died in Lebanon Va 1854*"
"Aged 22 years, 10 months & 16 days?"
(1st w/o John P.Jenks; who remarried Mary Thomas 29 May 1855 thus Elizabeth Davis Jenks would have died prior to that time, making her age 22 yrs according to the above info. Calulating the birth & age at death it is assumed she died probably 17 Mar 1854)
"....sleep on dear wife...until the last...shall sound..."
