An inscription from a gravestone in Jeffersontown Cemetery:
Weep not for me, oh kindred dear
I am not dead but sleeping here
My grave is silent as you see
Prepare for Death and follow me...
Weep not for me, oh kindred dear
I am not dead but sleeping here
My grave is silent as you see
Prepare for Death and follow me...
There is another version of this in a cemetery not far from my home.

As I am now, so soon you will be.
Prepare for death, and follow me."
