Edward Little's epitaph

Edward's parents, Simon & Sarah were buried in Green Street Cemetery (Section Roseville Street, Grave YY2, St Helier, Jersey) with their eldest daughter Elizabeth Jane. Following their epitaph, the family added a few words to commemorate Edward

It's the tombstone on the right, you can see the names if you zoom in, image in better quality here (For the story, I was scrolling throught random pictures of the cemetery when I zoomed in on this one with no reason in particular and well... it's theirs)

It reads :

"To the memory of Sarah, the beloved wife of Simon Little Paymaster RN who died 9th May 1847 aged 68 years,

Also of Simon Little, husband of the above, who died 20th July 1852, aged 84 years

And of Elizabeth Jane Little, eldest daughter of the above, who died 27th May 1874, aged 70 years,

Also of Edward Little, their son, Commander RN who was lost in the Arctic Expedition under Captain John Franklin RN, ?? HM Ship Erebus, 1847"

I've found better pictures on The Genealogist (under licence) and I could decifer most of what's written, except for the very last part. If anyone has a better picture with the rest of the inscription, I'd be happy to add it to the post !

Sometimes I’m normal sometimes I fall into a hole on the internet

Anyways did you know that Edward Little’s mother died 28 days before John Franklin in 1847 her name was Sarah she was 68 and was buried in St Helier, Jersey

Her son probably outlived her but he never got to hear of her passing
