IN MEMORY OF
ABIJAH McCLAIN
Who departed this life
July 11th 1848.
In the 94th year of his
Age
used to rise
Stoop down my thoughts that
Converse awhile with death
Think how a gasping mortal lies
And pants away his breath
Jesus to thy dear faithful hand.
My naked soul I trust.
And my flesh waits for thy communion
To drop into my dust.
Abijah married Pamela Doughty. (Pamela Doughty was born on 17 Mar 1759, died on 5 Jan 1835 and was buried in McClain Cemetery, Rice's Landing, Greene County, Pennsylvania.)
