'Til Death Do Us Apart, or something like that

All Saints Church is situated adjacent to Fulham Palace. It is a quaint little place, part 15th century and part 19th century structure, with a weathered graveyard.
There is one rather tall headstone situated just north of the church entrance:
The engraved inscription reads:
To the Memory of
ISABELLA MURR
of this Parish
who departed this Life
the 29th of November 1829
in the 52nd Year of her Age.
Ye who possess the brightest charms of life
A tender friend - a kind indulgent wife
Oh, learn their worth! In her beneath this stone
These pleasing attributes shone
Was not true happiness with them combin'd?
Ask the spoil'd being she has left behind.
And then at the bottom, likely to have been added at a later date:
HE'S GONE TOO.
