Family Remembrance:1865 "We have found several of the Agler grave stones in Riverside Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio (George, Hannah, Frederick, and Margaret). All four of these stones have poems in script on them. Most are four lines but George Agler’s is twelve lines. We are trying to decipher them."

George Agler
I would be buried in some quiet spot,
Where flowers will blossom when I am forgot.
Where boughs of the cyrpess and willow wave
Gently and mournfully over my grave.

Then let no bright eye be weeping for me,
Let no heart throb with keen anguish or be
Saddened or lonelier when I am gone.
Let the bright days pass joyously on.

As when in moments of rapturing bliss
We thought of a world more enchanting than this
And spoke of the future, the bright time to come
When we [illegible] sweet blissful home.
