In memory of Margaret Fuller Ossoli born in Cambridge, Mass. May 23, 1810. By birth a child of New England, by adoption a citizen of Rome, by genius belonging to the world. In youth an insatiate student seeking the highest culture, in riper years teacher, writer, critic of literature and art, in maturer age companion and helper of many, earnest reformer in America and Europe. And of her husband Giovanni Angelo Marquis Ossoli. He gave up rank, station and home for the Roman Republic and for his wife and child. And of that child Angelo Eugene Philip Ossoli, born in Rieti, Italy, Sept. 5, 1848, whose dust reposes at the foot of this stone. They passed from this life together by ship wreck July 19, 1850.
