Elizabeth Jacks, daughter of Isaac and Anna Whitten Jacks, and wife of Drayton Bennett McCoy, died at 22 years of age. The message on this stone conveys the grief that must have been felt at her passing. She left behind at least two small children and a young husband who obviously mourned for her. The words are as follows:
"In memory of Mrs. McCoy"
daughter of Isaac and Anny Jacks
born: March 8, 1806
died: February 1, 1828
"Her bereaved husband deeply impressed
with his irreparable loss erects this
frail monument to her memory"
