I recently took pictures of two ancestral gravestones in a neglected cemetery. Each gravestone features a four-line poem at the base. While there, I attempted to read and transcribe them but had difficulty, so I captured several photos for a closer look on my computer. I’ve managed to decipher most of the poem on one stone, but I’m having trouble with the other. Can anyone suggest an effective method to enhance the photos to make the inscriptions clearer? Thanks a lot!

If you can decipher most or all of one line, try typing it into Google. This should help you find the poem or epitaph from which it originates.

Thanks, I did try that, but it appears neither inscription comes from a well-known poem. Here is the one I can read most clearly:

Friendly to all yet modest ____ kind,
Her life appeared? the ____ of her mind,
Beloved in life as much bemoaned in death,
On Jesus resting, she resigned? her breath
