Epitaphs thought to read as follows:  [transcription added 29 Aug 2008 at the request of a descendant, Rose Fischer]

The bliss of man flies
swift away, His transient
hopes as soon decay
The sun of joy scarce
darts his gladning beam
??? lo we? find thy life
[rest buried]

 The bliss of human
kind fleets swiftly away
From Dreams of hope
Alas how soon are torn
The sun of joy scarce
darts its gladning ray
When clouds oershadow
and we wake to mourn

In memory of
Ann Venard
daughter of
Thomas & Ann Venard
born Nov 19, 1809?
aged 9 months [close-up of inscription]

25 Jan 2005:
Warren County Cemetery Records Volume 6 has the date recorded as 1869 [and I did also] which would make it impossible for Ann to be the daughter of Thomas & Ann listed above. On closer examination of the original image, it would appear that "1809" would be a more appropriate interpretaion of the inscription. I'll try to recheck the stone when weather permits. Thanks to Virginia Brush Britten for pointing this out.
