One of the unsolved mysteries of the world is to be found in the Grave and Epitaph to the Female
Stranger. The only facts known about this singular tomb is that in September
1816 a gentleman accompanied by a lady very ill, arrived at Aleandria and put up at the City Hotel.
She remained in her room until her death on October 11, 1816. After her death her husband
erected this tomb, left the city and was seen no more. Tradition informs us that she may have been
one of the Royal English Family on a tour of this Country.Epitaph

To the Memory of a
FEMALE STRANGER
whose mortal sufferings terminated
on the 14th day of October 1816
Aged 23 years and 8 months.
This stone is placed here by her disconsolate
Husband in whose arms she sighed out her
latest breath and who under God
did his utmost even to soothe the cold
dead ear of death.
How loved how valued once avails thee not
To whom related or by whom begot
A heap of dust alone remains of thee
Tis all thou art and all the proud shall be
To him gave all the Prophets witness that
through his name whosoever believeth in
him shall receive remission of sins.
Acts.10th Chap.43rd verse
