John C. Coble tombstone, Asbury Cemetery, Columbus, Ohio. Photo taken by Amy Crow 9 June 2009; all rights reserved.
This tombstone is in Asbury Cemetery in Madison Township, Franklin County, Ohio, near the intersection of Noe-Bixby Road and Winchester Pike. It is in excellent condition. I love the epitaph.

Beautiful headstone.
I’m glad you liked it. I was touched by the epitaph.

Coleridge’s ‘Epitaph On An Infant’ : The Lyrics:
Ere sin could blight or Sorrow fade
Death came with friendly care
The opening bud to Heaven conveyed
And bade it blossom there
This lovely bud, so young so fair,
Called hence by early doom,
Just came to show how sweet a flower
In paradise would bloom.
Ere sin could blight or Sorrow fade
Death came with friendly care
The opening bud to Heaven conveyed
And bade it blossom there
