In his will, Dr. James Rush left the following instructions: "...I should be glad that the remains of the late Jacob Ridgway, of his daughter, my late wife, and of myself, should be removed to the new library building...and be placed in some spot within the outward limits of the building, under a plain and simple tablet.....I desire that my wife and myself may be placed in the new library building...The library will then be her monument, and I desire to lie by her side." Jacob Ridgway was not buried with the Rushes. The inscription on the tombstone reads as follows: "Sacred/To the Memories of/ Mrs. Phoebe Ann Rush./ Daughter of/Jacob & Rebecca Ridgway./ And wife of/ James Rush M.D./ Born Dec. 3, A.D. 1799/ Died Oct. 23, 1857./ And of/ James Rush M.D./ Third son of/ Dr. Benjamin & Julia (nee Stockton) Rush./ Born March 15, A.D. 1786./ Died May 26, A.D. 1869.
